See all- Buffalo Grove Saturday Korean-English Free Conversation TablePanera Bread, Buffalo Grove, IL
Let’s meet for a language exchange! How it works:
We meet at a Panera Bread in Buffalo Grove 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.
After our Conversation Table, if anyone wants to go out for lunch, we can eat together too!
Since space is limited, please RSVP ASAP. We usually have Conversation Table on the third Saturday of every month!
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!).
