Event Details

Are you learning a language and need to practice having conversations? Come to the library and chat with a native speaker! Practice language skills in a casual and judgement-free environment. Whether your second language is English or something else, we will do our best to find a conversation partner for you. 

We are seeking any and all volunteers from as many languages as possible. If you would like to be a conversation partner or if you have a specific language you would like us to help find a partner for, please contact Mandy Foote at (540) 869-9000 ext. 210 or email afoote@handleyregional.org.

This is a new monthly event. So if we don't have your language right away, please don't be discouraged. We'd love to see this grow as big as it can over time and we welcome everyone to participate!

We currently have a request for a Mandarin Chinese speaker. Please call or email if you would like to help!
