I’ve heard of a program for adults who would like to learn Spanish. The gist of it is that you enroll in a class that also has some recent immigrants who are trying to improve their English. This way, everyone can learn from each other. I can’t remember the name of this program. Does anyone have any experience with it, and do you know if it’s available in the Chicago area?

The general name for that kind of thing is “language exchange”, but it’s not generally supposed to be taken by itself.
