International Student and Scholar Services
Language Exchange Program (LEP) The Georgetown University Language Exchange Program (LEP) is a free service provided through the Office of International Programs (OIP) designed to connect individuals who wish to practice and improve their foreign language skills. Participants volunteer their services and the Office of International Programs' only role is to facilitate the introductions. Accordingly, Georgetown University is not in a position to endorse the quality of the experience, and cannot assume responsibility for any aspect of the program.
Once an LEP Partner Request Form is received and a compatible partner has been found, the participants will be notified via email. By independently scheduling meetings to talk and practice, the participants benefit from each other's knowledge. There are no fees for the Language Exchange Program and request forms may be submitted at any time throughout the year.

Please note: This program is recommended for participants with at least an intermediate language proficiency (2nd year).
