Old Main

Language Resource Center

Where languages come to life

Five languages. 

One global community. 

Your home base in LIB 244. 

The Myers Language Resource Center is where North Central students practice, connect and live the languages they study: free tutoring, weekly conversation hours, recording technology, cultural celebrations and a space that feels like home.

Whether you are taking your first Spanish class or polishing your Japanese capstone, the LRC is open to every student, at every level, all week long.

About the LRC

Study tables and practice corners, headsets and recording gear, books and films in five languages, and people who love languages as much as you do.
