Café Bilingüe Women’s Voices in Spanish and English

“I am happy to connect with native Spanish speakers from various countries (…) I find it enriching in many ways.”Sherry (U.S.)

In Kansas City, the Café Bilingüe (Bilingual Café) is a language exchange group comprised of dedicated professional women from the U.S. and Latin America who want to practice their spoken English or Spanish.

It not only helps to improve language skills, but it also celebrates different cultures and the understanding among them.

“It’s a good chance to have a cultural exchange sharing backgrounds and stories.”Becky (U.S.)

“It helped me to improve my pronunciation. I also learned some interesting things about the American culture.”Lucy (Mexico)

“It is a good way to get confidence and not feel shy or ashamed about speaking in another language.”Sara (Spain)

“I like the opportunity to network with professional women. We share good information and the topics are very interesting.” Alma (Mexico)
