What is a Conversation Pal???
A conversation pal is an American student who is about the same age as you are and who shares similar interests with you. Your conversation pal will work with the tutor to provide conversation practice sessions with you in everyday situations. You may visit a mall and go on a scavenger hunt that requires you to ask different shopkeepers questions, visit a restaurant and have to order a meal, prepare a meal at home in the kitchen of your host family, play a game that requires conversation, discuss political, educational, scientific or other topics depending upon your area of interest and your language level. The conversation pal is there to be your friend and to help you improve your English conversation skills!
