CONVERSATION LANGUAGE EXCHANGE

Two conversation partners are matched, who meet in the friendly setting of the family center, or elsewhere, to conversate in languages of their interest (for example 30 minutes in Czech, 30 minutes in English). These conversation meetings are designed to make conversation time available to everyone, including parents with young children. While the parent learns to conversate in a foreign language, the child can play in our playroom.
