English Room
Conversation Partners - A weekly, one-on-one time between Americans and international students who want to improve their English and meet Americans. The partners meet anywhere and talk about anything they choose. Cross-cultural friendship can begin this way. Contact Deb Schleusener at deb_316@hotmail.com
Friendship Partners - Friendships develop through monthly meetings inside or outside an American home, with weekly phone or email contact made between the Americans and the international students. Contact Simon Zeigler at isiseattle@aol.com
Professional Partners - Another way to develop friendships is through Americans mentoring international students who are preparing to enter the same profession. They meet each other on or off the job site. Contact Simon Zeigler at isiseattle@aol.com
