Intercambio, Language Exchange Program
Are you looking for a good way to practice your Spanish and to get involved with the local Hispanic community? The Adelante Mujeres Intercambio program connects native Spanish speakers from our family of participants with native English speakers from our local community. The language partners meet once per week, at a time and location of their choosing, and speak half the time in Spanish and half in English. This way, each individual benefits from practicing their new language with and hearing it spoken by a native speaker; and makes a great personal connection in the process. Send us an email or call 503-992-0078 for more information.
