I got so much out of my SPEAK experience. I was on a small group and each session felt so personal, the other participants felt more like family by the end of our sessions. SPEAK sessions are definitely the most relaxed, helpful way to improve my language proficiency.

SPEAK for me it's like travelling without leaving Portugal. I share my culture and I learn from other people's culture. That helps to understand how other people live and how they think too.

Last August, I moved to Portugal from the US. It’s my first time living in another country and I’m very anxious about fitting in here, particularly since I’m not proficient in Portuguese. I became a buddy with SPEAK in November, and have been sharing my native language, English, and helping fellow immigrants with basic Portuguese. This experience has helped me feel welcome and confident that I can thrive here.
