Format
This is a very relaxed atmosphere where conversation is the focus. Each Conversation Table is two hours long and there is no set agenda for the the topics. Come and make new friends! We have a steady following and people get to know each other very well. Current events, travel, culinary delights, art and music are among some of our most popular topics.
Who is in charge?
Our Conversation Table is facilitated by our teachers, more advanced students and/or friends of The Language Learning Institute.
Is there a fee?
Currently there is no fee to attend the Conversation Tables, however, we do ask for a sponsorship, of any amount, to help defray the costs associated with facilitating the Conversation Tables. This is a community service The Language Learning Institute does to promote the speaking and sharing of languages.
