Gather with other language learners to practice your speaking skills.

English:

Gather with other language learners to practice your speaking skills.

Conversation Café is a monthly language exchange program providing a casual gathering space for community members to practice their conversational skills in a language other than their native one, particularly English, Spanish, and French. While we cannot guarantee the presence of speakers of any specific language, the more attendees, the more flexibility there will be. The goal is for participants to divide their time equally between practicing the language they are learning and speaking in their native language to help others learn.

This is a free program with no registration required. All are welcome! Light snacks and drinks will be provided. Conversation topics and games will be available if participants need help breaking the ice, and story times and other fun activities for children will be provided simultaneously so that parents and caregivers of young children can more easily participate.

This program is in partnership with the Urbana School District Multilingual Department.

Español:

Reúnase con otros estudiantes de idiomas para practicar sus habilidades de hablar.

Conversation Café es un programa mensual de intercambio de idiomas que provee un lugar de reunión casual en que miembros de la comunidad pueden practicar sus habilidades de conversación en un idioma que no es su idioma natal, particularmente inglés, español, y francés. A pesar de que no podemos garantizar la presencia de hablantes de algún idioma en particular, con más asistentes, habrá más flexibilidad. La meta es que todos los participantes dividan su tiempo igualmente entre practicar el idioma que están aprendiendo y hablar en su idioma natal para ayudar a otros a aprender.

Este es en un programa gratis que no requiere inscripción. ¡Todos son bienvenidos! Tentempiés y bebidas estarán provistos. Temas de conversación y juegos estarán disponibles si asistentes necesiten ayuda con romper el hielo, y horas de cuentos y otros actividades divertidos para niños estarán provistos simultáneamente así que padres y cuidadores de niños pequeños pueden participar más facilmente. 

Este program es en colaboración con el Departmento Multilingüe del Distrito Escolar de Urbana.

Français:

Rassemblez-vous avec d’autres étudiants en langues pour mettre en pratique vos compétences orales.

Conversation Café est un programme d'échange linguistique mensuel offrant un espace de rassemblement décontracté permettant aux membres de la communauté de mettre en pratique leurs compétences conversationnelles dans une langue autre que leur langue maternelle, en particulier l'anglais, l'espagnol et le français. Bien que nous ne puissions pas garantir la présence de locuteurs d'une langue spécifique, plus il y aura de participants, plus il y aura de flexibilité. L’objectif est que les participants partagent leur temps à parts égales entre la pratique de la langue qu’ils apprennent et le fait de parler dans leur langue maternelle pour aider les autres à apprendre.

Il s'agit d'un programme gratuit sans inscription requise. Tous sont les bienvenus ! Des collations légères et des boissons seront fournies. Des sujets de conversation et des jeux seront disponibles si les participants ont besoin d'aide pour briser la glace, et des heures du conte et d'autres activités amusantes pour les enfants seront proposées simultanément afin que les parents et les tuteurs de jeunes enfants puissent participer plus facilement.

Ce programme est en partenariat avec le département multilingue du district scolaire d'Urbana.
