Our Spanish-English Conversation Group provides an opportunity to improve listening, speaking and comprehension skills during ‘real’ conversation in an informal setting. People learning English come to practice English with native speakers and those learning Spanish come to practice Spanish with native Spanish speakers. At each meeting we have a theme to keep conversation flowing. Conversations range from simple ice breakers to describing the most unusual vacation experience you’ve had.

The group originated at Brown County Library’s Central location 5 years ago as the Spanish-English Language Exchange/Intercambio Inglés e Español. Initially, the group met once a month. Over the years our group has evolved to meet twice a month and is now called the Spanish-English Conversation Group/Grupo Bilingue de Conversación. We meet once a month at the East Branch Library and once a month at the Southwest Branch Library. It’s been a pleasure to form friendships and watch language skills grow over the years.

Whether you’ve been attending for years or haven’t checked us out yet, help us celebrate our 5th year of the Spanish-English Conversation Group this Saturday, July 18th, noon-1 p.m. Enjoy bilingual conversation, birthday cake, Lotería and refreshments.
All people learning Spanish or English are welcome. No pre-registration is required.
