Talk it up! Join people of all ages at the Downtown Eugene Public Library as they <br />make friends and conversation at Intercambio and Hora de Diversión. These events occur on the second <br />and fourth Tuesdays of each month (September 13 and 27), from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />Librarian Lorie Vik reports, "IntercambioConversation Circles/Círculos de Conversación began meeting <br />once a month in January 2005. Ever since, people have asked us to expand to twice monthly! <br />Participants appreciate the opportunity to practice conversation—and they say they also like meeting <br />new people, sharing cultural information, and learning about Library resources in both languages." <br /> <br />At Intercambio ("exchange"), small groups of adults and teens talk casually in Spanish for 30 minutes <br />and in English for 30 minutes, gaining fluency in one while helping others practice language skills in the <br />other. Intercambio is hosted by a skilled bilingual facilitator, and conversation-starter word lists are <br />provided. <br /> <br />Bring the kids, too! During Intercambio, elementary-age kids are invited to Hora de Diversión (Fun Time), <br />a lively bilingual session of stories, songs, games, and crafts. Younger children are welcome to stay with <br />parents or caregivers at Intercambio. <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 <br />September 1, 2005 <br /> <br />
