Venture outside your classroom and country and spend weekly sessions practicing your language skills with college students or locals!  Build your confidence and enjoy interesting cross-cultural interactions that introduce you to people and exciting new learning options. Language partners are a great way to apply what you learn in the classroom and hear native speakers use their own language.

Depending on your language of interest, you’ll be introduced to and paired with a native Spanish- or Italian-speaker. Team up with one or more conversation partners for regular exchanges about a variety of topics of your choosing in both English and your second language. Language partners in Spain are students from the University of Valladolid or locals. Language partners in Italy are students from the University of Siena.

Language partner activities are synchronous, with participants determining the most convenient schedule and platform (Zoom, Skype, or What’s App).
