The Department of World Languages and Cultures Language Exchange Partners Program is a free program organized by the Language Studies Resource Center to connect students who wish to practice and improve their foreign language speaking skills.
Language exchange partners have the opportunity to make new friends, benefit from each other’s knowledge, expand their skills, and are better able to engage the world around them. The program is free and open to all students registered at Iowa State University.
Participants have the opportunity to:
- Improve world language conversation skills
- Practice everyday terms and phrases in a world language
- Build social networks through friendly interactions
- Gain additional language preparation for study/internship abroad or other overseas travel
