We had the final meeting of 2023-24! We will do the MTSU Linguistics Olympiad on April 20th. Click here for more information and see Mr. Noelle or Mrs. Boost about competing. Tell your friends!
Description: We discuss language learning, current issues, and etymology, and we work on logic puzzles which focus on questions involving finding patterns in other languages. All of the information you need to solve the puzzles is in the puzzles themselves. All you need to add is some analytical reasoning and tricky thinking.
If this sounds appealing, come to Linguistics Club in room 110 during Rotation A. If you like it, you can work with other students to be a part of the team which will represent Central Magnet School at the MTSU Linguistics Olympiad in the spring semester. Stay tuned!
