<p>What foriegn languages are offered at MIT?</p>
<p>[Chinese</a>, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish](<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/fll/www/]Chinese”>http://web.mit.edu/fll/www/).</p>
<p>Students who are interested in other languages generally take them through cross-registration at Harvard.</p>
<p>oh, no Russian? darn</p>
<p>They do French, German and Japanese…that’ll keep me happy.</p>
<p>As Mollie mentioned, people interested in other languages can cross-register at Harvard. People I know who’ve take language classes there absolutely loved them. I mean, it is Harvard. We can do engineering better, but they are good for something. =P</p>
<p>are there placement exams for foreign languages?</p>
<p>From the FL&L website:
</p>
<p>Can one take Arabic at Harvard, is it offered? </p>
<p>How easy is cross-enrollment (not the courses, but the process)? Is it hard to commute to Harvard for classes? Any general experiences?</p>
<p>I just went to <a href=“http://www.harvard.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.harvard.edu</a>, navigated to “Harvard College” (undergrad), found “Academics”, chose “Departments”, and found this nifty link to the [Department</a> of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations](<a href=“http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~nelc/]Department”>www.fas.harvard.edu/~nelc/), where you can see their course offerings. </p>
<p>Someone local can tell you how the cross-registration process works. It’s not hard at all to commute to Harvard, they’re 1 or 2 T-stops apart, depending which side of MIT you enter from. I think the concern is more scheduling and exam timing, since they’re not coordinated with MIT classes and exams.</p>
<p>Cross-registration

<p>i wonder how popular cross registering for foreign language classes is</p>
<p>I think cross-registration for languages might very well be the most common type of cross-registration… not that that’s an answer. :)</p>
