Oldenborg Center at Pomona welcomes you to join its foreign-language lunch tables. Enjoy lunch and converse in foreign languages at tables mentored by native speakers.

Hours:

When Pomona classes are in session, Monday through Friday, 11:45am to 12:45pm.

Cost:

  • Students – swipe your mealcard at the door
  • Faculty and Staff – sign in for lunch as a guest of Oldenborg
  • Community members at Oldenborg’s discretion – $6.75 charge

Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish tables meet daily.

On Wednesdays, we also feature beginner tables in these six languages. Oldenborg requests that lunch guests honor its tradition of supporting foreign languages; those who wish to converse in English are respectfully asked to visit other college dining halls.

If there is a language you would like to practice that is not listed here, please contact the Oldenborg Center at 621-8018 or email Oldenborg.
