If you've ever been abroad, you may know what it's like trying to adjust to a new language and culture. Many international members of our community report that they have trouble meeting American students, practicing their English, and asking questions about U.S. culture. Some of these international students have the additional challenge of teaching in a U.S. classroom where language and cross-cultural communication skills are critical.

Linda Tran
Language Consultant Intern & Volunteer
In addition to being the Language Consultant Program Intern, I'm an LC volunteer, because I love the LC program, and I want to be able to understand my volunteers. I love my meetings with my language partner, because we root for each other and celebrate our victories. It's a great support system.
