Conversation partners usually meet for 1-2 hours per week at a location that is convenient to both, for an average of 12 months.

Table Talk is IFSO's weekly Tuesday English Conversation group. We hope to provide our scholars and faculty of all English language levels with a space to gain language practice, develop connections across departments, and engage in further cultural exchange. Topics of conversation will vary week to week, and small snacks or refreshments will be provided by IFSO, but we recommend bringing your own lunch as well!
