Language Exchange JH is a collaboration between three organizations: Teton Literacy Center, Teton County Library and Central Wyoming College (CWC).

How does Language Exchange JH work?
First step, you will get paired according to your language level, age, availability and interests. Next, you will receive an hour-long training at the public library.

Within that hour, you will practice conversational skills in one language for 30 minutes, and then switch to the other language for the remaining 30 minutes.
It is important to remember that the Language Exchange JH program is not a formal language class, but an opportunity to practice conversational skills in the language you are already learning.
