But What About You?

Known as the “mother tongue” of Romance languages, Latin has become an essential part of the vocabulary of most other languages. We, at SVSU, are ready to rally in support of your passion to explore this often misunderstood and “dead language,” that brings so much cultural influence from an ancient time into modern day. The Department of MFL will help you to connect with Latin beyond the Roman numerals and leverage it to build up a basic understanding of how it dominates in the world of academia and beyond!
