Jordan was one of our first Conversation Corps-Austria tutors and he kept a Blog of his experiences before he departed and while he was there.

What is a Conversation Partner?  Volunteer to be a Conversation Partner and you will be speaking conversational English to the local police department, hotel staff, local business professionals, teachers, local tour guides.  You do not need to be a teacher or to have teaching experience to be a Conversation Partner.  You just need to meet with the group each day (up to 25 hours each week) and converse in English with them.  It's fun and rewarding.
