Need help learning English? You can’t learn language or culture on your own. The whole purpose of learning a language is to communicate with other people, and you can only know that you’ve learned a language when you can use it communicate with others. ICX can connect you with a community volunteer who will serve as your conversation partner. This gives you a chance to build your English skills. We only connect men with men and women with women. Maybe your English is already great, but there are things about American culture that you find strange or confusing. ICX Conversation Partners can help you learn how to navigate American culture. They can also be a great resource for learning about life in Houston, like where to get your car repaired or how to work out a problem with your landlord. We have a lot to learn from you, so we encourage our ICX volunteers to enter the conversation partner relationship with the mindset that they are learners, too.
