Welcome to Georgetown Library's Conversation Blog!

For Fatima, from Brazil, and Meng, from China, the English Conversation Club at the Georgetown Neighborhood Library, at Wisconsin Avenue and R Street, NW, Washington, DC, is "a nice place where people from various countries can enjoy and share their experiences."  Fatima and Meng, who have been coming on Monday and Wednesday mornings, from 10 am until noon, for several months, are practicing and improving their English skills, as they become "part of the life of the city," and "on top of the news." Just last Monday the group was diverse, from Sri Lanka, China, Cambodia, Brazil, Romania, Bolivia, and Mexico, but everyone could agree that the conversation club helped them develop connections and friendships while discussing such topics as doctors' visits, creating viable online passwords, and the Washington theater scene.  The conversation club, which is staffed by trained facilitators from the Washington English Center, is free and ongoing, and no reservations are required.  Just come to the second floor of the library and meet new friends.  --Susan Joseph
