Students, staff, and faculty are welcome to join the Office of International Students & Scholars’ All Languages Language Exchange, held in collaboration with UCSB Reads as part of this year’s selection, Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. Meet fellow linguaphiles and practice your language(s) of choice at this bi-monthly cultural exchange event that celebrates language, culture, and community.

For this special UCSB Reads–themed exchange, participants are invited, though not required, to engage in cross-cultural conversation inspired by Crying in H Mart, including themes of identity, family, grief, food, language, and belonging, with provided prompts. Copies of Crying in H Mart will be made available to participants in advance. Light snacks from around the world and beverages will be provided.

All languages and all levels are welcome.

This event may be photographed or recorded.
