International Festival
The FLI participated in the Int'l Festival this
year. We got major publicity through our organization booth. We
did face-painting and arm-paintings of people's names in different
languages. We also held cultural trivia games, which were rewarded
with some type of ethnic candy and snacks. Special thanks to David
Wei (Treasurer) and Karl Mertens (Vice President) who manned the
booth most of the day.
Also, special thanks to Alison Cameron (President), Syed Ali Tahir
(Urdu Teacher & Entertainment Coordinator), Bimala Koju (Nepali
Teacher), and Gabriela Fraga (IBO Liason) who invested their time to
prepare a few culturally-charged song and dance performances for the
stage at the festival.

Last Friday, six
MSU students attended the FLIs first Arabic class! It is impressive
to observe that some students are motivated to stay on campus a bit
longer in order to avail themselves of the opportunity to learn a
different language not currently offered by the University. The
class was taught by FLI Arabic Instructor, Mr. Lero Odola, a native
of Sudan with the assistance of FLI Director & Curriculum
Development Advisor, Elouen Soviac. The FLI Arabic class will meet
again next Friday, September 22, 2006, at 5:15 PM in Armstrong Hall,
room number TBA.
Also,
don't forget to check out the class schedule by clicking on the
"Languages" tab at the top, and clicking on the "Class Schedule" link!
