Building your Fluency in your community Part II

A good friend and fellow blogger just enlighted me regarding a program where international visitors, also called Volunteer Language Partners, come to your home for 1-3 months.  You host them and they provide 20 hours of language instruction in their native tongue.  If you've ever studied abroad, I'm sure you've heard about this setup before using English speakers as the volunteers.  This might be of interest to those of you who would like someone who speaks the following languages:

Arabic
Dutch
French
German
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Spanish

I've done this before on the reverse end as a language volunteer with another organization.  It works well if the family that is hosting has time and if they live near public transportation so that you can get around and see the city when you are not volunteering.
