Dear Global Heart Tours and Language Exchanges community!
Following the success of Language Connection 2010, we have been invited for a second time by the Asia Institute to run the language learners conference again for the second time at the Sidney Myer Asia Center.
Last year we had just over 100 participants and we think that this is a good number, but that we can get up to probably 150 in total. Our goal is to have more learners of Korean and Chinese. We had roughly equal numbers for Japanese, not too bad for Chinese, and we found it really hard to find Australians learning Korean.
What excites me so much about this conference is that so many friendships came out of the first one, and we even had The Melbourne Korean and English Group start. That group now has close to a hundred members and I know from attending the group that so many Koreans living in Melbourne and Australians learning Korean have gotten so much out of it.
Our two dreams, as ever, are for people to improve their language skills, and to make lots of new friends.
Please put these details in your diary
