English Conversation Groups
The Library hosts English Conversation Groups.
- Conversation groups are for adult EAL learners who can speak English in short sentences (CLB 4+).
- Groups are limited to about 10 people so that everyone has a chance to speak.
- You can practice your English speaking and listening skills and meet new friends!
Now online:
Practice your English skills and meet new friends in our online class! Classes are small and you will learn while having fun.
The next online conversation group will begin in February 2023. See the Library Programs and Events Calendar for more information and to register.
