B!B!E! Language Exchange Planning 2023.01.11
Scheduling
- Leo will probably be offline in February, so someone else will need to facilitate
- Nat's days off right now are Wed/Thurs, and later in the day is probably better
- Tentatively scheduling for Wednesdays @ 4pm Pacific / 5pm Mountain / 6pm Central / 7pm Eastern / 9pm Chile, starting next week (Jan. 18)
Name
- Intercambio alone tends to mean something more like a student exchange program
- In English we have been saying Language Exchange
- Nat's brief google search indicates that Intercambio de Idiomas is probably the most common term
Planning the Meetings
- Facilitators should be reasonably bilingual. We can rotate facilitators.
- Leo will facilitate the first time
Meeting Outline
- How to participate
- Raise your virtual "hand"
- We will speak for X minutes in English, X minutes in Spanish on general conversation topics. Try to let everyone have a turn.
- Introductions (name, pronouns, maybe location & language skill levels?)
- Discuss several conversation topics or work on projects together, switching languages
Potential topics/projects
- Review bike anatomy; identify parts of bike in both languages
- How is biking in your city?
- general topics - search for "language exchange conversation topics" online
- come up with more of your own that are bike related
- look at past B!B!E! workshop topics
- Project: collaborate on a project like flash cards or playing cards (use it as promo material or merch for B!B!E!)
