Language Exchange Seeks Volunteers

With just one mention in our eNews, we already have our maximum of 15 native English speaking volunteers for our new program, the Language Exchange. In the Language Exchange, a native English speaker will be paired with a native speaker of a foreign language and they will meet weekly in 90 minute to 2 hour sessions during which half the time will be spent conversing in English and half the time conversing in the other language. This program will enhance each partner's ability to converse fluently in the other's language. It also will be building community across cultures, the primary mission of FaithAction International House.

We are still seeking native speakers of Spanish (and other languages as well) for this program which is slated to begin in mid-January. The demand for Spanish is especially strong. If you are a native Spanish speaker, or know someone who is and who would like to improve conversational skills, please contact Rebecca Burrell at 379-0037 extension 1# or email here by clicking here.

As the program evolves and grows, we anticipate matching volunteers in a variety of languages, so please let us know if you would like to be matched with someone who speaks Arabic, French, Vietnamese, Mandarin, or other languages (or, of course, if you speak any of those languages and would like to be paired with an English speaker).
