ISI loves to match international students and visiting scholars with local American volunteers to practice conversational English. These volunteers are well trained, culturally sensitive, nice people, and they are excellent at helping your English jump to the next level 🙂
Your Language Partner will meet with you to practice conversational English, help with any grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation questions you have, and discuss interesting topics related to your home culture, American culture, faith, food, the bible, family, society, and academics.
​
Language Partners can meet online or in person. They usually meet for one hour once per week, as it works for both parties.

Click here to let us know you would like to be matched with a Language Partner.
