Despite the lovely pre-spring weather, or perhaps due to it, TandemPlus participants flocked to Goldy's Gameroom at Coffman Memorial Union on Friday, March 6, 2015, to throw down lanes, chow on appetizers, and to practice that uniquely human skill: speaking languages. Talent and the results of hard work could be witnessed from one end of the hall to the other in both bowling prowess and language capacity. Portuguese, Arabic, English, German, French Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese are among the languages that could be heard from the nearly sixty participants who were conversing and having fun. For those involved, it was an encouraging time to witness a number of polyglots code-switching while bouncing from lane to lane.
If you missed out on the fun, don't despair! Tandem will be hosting a Small World Coffee Hour on Friday, April 3, 2015, in St. Paul. This event will be catered. Stay tuned!
