Astoria Library

ASTORIA — The Astoria Library introduces “Intercambio,” an opportunity for speakers and learners of English and Spanish to gather together for conversation and language practice. The group will meet at 3 p.m. each Saturday at the library (450 10th St.). The first session will take place Saturday, March 10.

Intercambio is not a class but an informal setting where participants may share knowledge of their native language and practice a new language with native speakers.

Typically, about half of the session will be devoted to Spanish conversation, the other half to English. Participants with any level of language ability are welcome, but those with some familiarity with the new language might find the experience more enjoyable. Those who just want to listen are welcome, too.

The Astoria Library is guided by the mission statement: “Explore ideas, engage minds, excite imagination.”

Intercambio es una oportunidad de practicar el inglés y de compartir el español con los que lo desean aprender. No es una clase, sino una sesión de 90 minutos en cuando puedes charlar en inglés y en español, donde puedes compartir tu propio idioma nativo y aprender algo nuevo del inglés. No importa qué nivel de inglés tienes o si sólo quieres escuchar. Todos son bienvenidos.
