Images of Italy, France, Portugal, Spain and the Olin Center at Tufts University

The Romance languages all derive from the Latin language spoken in different parts of the Roman Empire. Courses in French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish lead students to an understanding of the spoken or written language, and allow them to read and appreciate a nation's literature. At all stages of instruction, students may deepen their linguistic sensibilities and expand their horizons by studying, through a Romance language, a civilization different from but connected to their own.
