Talking with Aussies

AU

Volunteer program helps international students improve their English conversation skills

Talking with Aussies (TWA) is an award-winning program that has recently celebrated its 30th year of connecting international students with community volunteers for conversation, connection and cultural exchange.

Our volunteers come from a range of ages and backgrounds and include students, retirees and working professionals. Students and volunteers chat one-on-one informally, for one hour each week, at a time of their choosing.

All current Adelaide University international students are welcome to apply to join TWA.
