English Conversation Partner

I was nervous at first to be a part of the English Conversation Partner program because I was not sure how well I was going to be able to communicate with my partner. However, after I met my partner, I became less nervous and more excited to meet someone of a different country and culture. My partner is from South Korea and she is a Senior this year. She knows English fairly well and so it is fun to just go out to lunch and talk with her about her college/life experiences.

I think this program is a great idea because it allows American students to learn about different ways of life and interact with people that they would not normally have a chance to before. I also think it is very good for the international students because they can be helped to improve their English or to just make new friends. I think it is also important to note that our society is becoming much more connected to other countries and it is important to be well-versed in different world cultures.

All around, I think this program is beneficial to everyone and it can teach everyone a little something.
