Conversational
English Practice
in the time of social distancing
COVID-19 presents a monumental challenge for all of us.
One of the many impacts is that English language learners under stay-at-home guidelines suddenly have little, or no, opportunities to practice conversational English.
That's why we're offering a free way for English learners and international students to connect with native English-speaking volunteers for video-chat conversations.
It's called Conversation Buddies...a fun and safe way to:
-
practice - or help someone practice - conversational English
-
develop your cross-cultural competence
Create a Profile
Get paired with a Conversation Buddy
based on interests
Schedule regular video-chat Meetups with your Buddy
