Daily Life

In addition to the quality classes each day, students enjoy spending time studying or socializing together in our various student lounge spaces. The coffee pots are always ready to serve students hot drinks throughout the day. During the lunch hour, students can participate in free seminars that focus on topics such as vocabulary and idioms, play board and card games together, and more. Every day at Michigan Language Center is full of life and learning!

Weekly Life

Seminars
Each week, our instructors offer 1 free, optional seminar for any students who would like additional practice. Topics include: vocabulary, slang and idioms, success coaching, making phone calls, and more!

Conversation Hour
Students can also participate in free Conversation Hours each week, led by MLC staff and American volunteers. It’s a lively hour of conversation and personal connection among students.

Conversation Partners
Students have the opportunity to be paired with a native English speaking conversation partner. Conversation partners are volunteers from the local community who offer to meet regularly with students to practice daily English conversation.

Monthly Life

Every session starts with a donut day, where we serve fresh donuts from Washtenaw Dairy, a favorite local bakery. We also end each session with a pizza party to celebrate the accomplishments of our hard-working students. Throughout each session, we have fun social and educational activities such as picnics and kayaking, holiday celebrations, tours of the University of Michigan, and volunteering at non-profit organizations. Session activities differ depending on the season, and it’s always exciting to introduce our students to the variety of experiences here in Ann Arbor!
