Talk2Me Spanish Program
Are you interested in practicing Spanish with a native Spanish speaker? Apply for the Talk2Me program, hosted by our international partners at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC Chile), to get paired up with a Chilean student for weekly conversations during fall or spring semester.
The program will not run for AY 2026-2027
Program Details
The Talk2Me program is an opportunity for students to meet once a week for at least one hour, exchanging ideas on a given topic with a UC partner. To foster the best outcomes, students were expected to have sufficient knowledge of their partner’s language in order to actively participate in the activity.
The benefits of the program for students were:
-preparation for a semester abroad in a Spanish-speaking country,
-maintaining language skills after studying abroad,
-enriching the learning process for those enrolled in Spanish courses or exploring Chilean culture.
