An invitation to be curious and get talking, this showcase presents an innovative approach to language learning at UCL that takes artworks and objects from the Museum as a starting point.
Have you ever wondered how new trends emerge in children’s names, or which languages can be easier to learn for English speakers and why?
Explore this showcase to enjoy a growing video library of language tasters produced by UCL tutors from a range of faculties and discover surprising facts about language, culture and how the two are intertwined.
Initially conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic by tutors at UCL’s School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS), the language taster videos on display were produced to support and promote language awareness and multi-lingualism beyond the university. The series has since expanded to other faculties across the university with new languages like Finnish, Mandarin and Ancient Greek joining the project. A special display of plaster casts on loan from the Petrie Museum also celebrates the ongoing role of objects in ancient language learning at UCL.
Keep an eye out for a series of lunchtime language taster sessions led by UCL language tutors happening in the Museum, where visitors can come along and learn about a new language or test their existing knowledge.

On May 21, I took the elderly to visit the British Museum, and the tour guide service was warm and professional. If you visit the museum without a tour guide, it may be completed in half an hour. The main reason is that the historical geography has not been learned well. Under the tour guide&#39;s explanation, the three hours feel very fast. This is the second time I have decided to come to the British Museum for the tour guide service of Trip.com . I still feel that the meaning is still not enough. The first time I came, I also decided that the tour guide service of Trip.com was very good.

美好的你看世界

After watching the Buckingham Palace changing ceremony, we arrived at Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people in the queue, about an hour and a half before entering the church. There is a interpreter at the door, you can choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter is also explained. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church is very high quality and the temperament is very good, which is awe-inspiring.

The London Eye, full name British Airways London Eye, is located on the banks of the Thames in London, England. It is the world&#39;s first and as of 2005 the largest observation wheel. It is one of London&#39;s landmarks and famous tourist attractions.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
