Language exchange events in Kenya

Host facilitated language exchange events with clear conduct and participation rules.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional event: a 90-minute English–Kiswahili conversation exchange for 12 adults, arranged as six pairs with three 20-minute rounds. Each round gives ten minutes to each language, followed by partner rotation; opening and closing activities occupy the remaining 30 minutes. Sell facilitation, a suitable room and original conversation cards, not accredited teaching or guaranteed fluency. Confirm the actual participant language mix before taking non-refundable payments. Guests may decline personal questions and choose how much correction they want.

Who is the first customer?
