Why Join Conversation Clubs?

The Best Way to Learn is with Others!

Our clubs help expatriates and their families feel more connected to their new community, providing a warm environment for forging bonds with our diverse region. Each club emphasizes conversation rather than instruction. Conversation Clubs are open and free of cost for all UI members who want to enhance their conversation skills. No registration is required. Just show up and join the conversation!

Still not a member? Feel free to visit a class once before pursuing a membership. After you’re a member, you may drop in whenever you like! If you have further questions, email us.
