Spanish-English Exchange (Seattle, Bogota, and Beyond)

Come practice Spanish and English. You'll have the opportunity to help others learn your language while receiving help from people who know the language that you want to learn. We'll have breakout rooms to rotate conversation partners throughout the event.

This exchange is open to everyone regardless of geographic or language background. This event is being promoted primarily in Seattle and Bogota. However, we've had attendees from New Zealand, Israel and Canada (among other places). Non-native speakers are welcome as well.

Fill out the Google Form with your name and email address to get access to the Zoom link. This step is to prevent any Zoom Bomber issues like what we experienced on Monday, October 28th, 2024. Please comment on the event if you have any issues logging in for maximum visibility.
