ISSS Announcements

English Conversation Partners

English Conversation Partners brings together our UMD community from all over the world to engage in interesting discussions with each other. During the semester, participants (students, spouses, faculty, staff) meet in groups with a fluent English speaking facilitator. These groups provide an opportunity to learn from one another, make friends, and of course become more comfortable and confident in English. Some topics include: US Culture, Food, Travel, Politics, and much more... really whatever you like to talk about! Talk to you soon!
