See all- Naperville Saturday Korean-English Free Conversation TablePanera Bread, Naperville, IL
Let’s meet for a language exchange! How it works:
We meet at Panera Bread in Naperville for conversation practice. After brief introductions, we will alternate between 15 minutes of English and 15 minutes of Korean (up to 90 minutes). For those who are new to Korean, we have a separate group that focuses on Korean vocab and basic grammar.
Since space is limited, please RSVP ASAP. Any questions? Please contact Elizabeth at 224-563-6446
Also, we highly recommend that you bring a notebook with you to jot down new vocabulary words that you learn during conversation (you should then try to master those words as you will use many of the same words over and over again in real-life conversation!).
For more information about our group (we also have dinner parties, K-drama discussions, karaoke, etc.), please visit our website: www.koreanconversationtable.com
