All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Thursdays, 4:00–5:00 p.m. The event calendar lists dates from November 5, 2026, through January 7, 2027, with a gap on November 26; the organizer's page gives the weekly schedule but no season boundaries.
At KU’s Kiswahili Language Table, speaking practice sits alongside two other stated aims: learning about African cultures and meeting people. The Kansas African Studies Center describes it as an informal gathering, not a published sequence of lessons.
The organizer describes language tables as informal meetings for practicing a language, learning more about African cultures and making friends. The event listing narrows the language focus to Kiswahili speaking practice, but does not announce a particular cultural topic for any Thursday. It’s a reason to choose the gathering for conversation and cultural learning, rather than arrive expecting a named lecture or theme.
