MARCH/APRIL 2020:
As part of our response to COVID-19, our usual English Language Learners Alliance programs are canceled until further notice.  We miss you!
What we do (usually!):

​Our organization is for newcomers AND people who have lived in the U.S. for a long time but still want to meet lots of people and practice speaking English!
​
All of our programs are FREE, drop in any time. We have most of our events at places in the city of Bellevue in the state of Washington.
What's Happening Locally
(as of April 18, 2020):

Local groups have been responding to COVID-19 with new online classes.

Hopelink will begin an online set of "English for Work" sessions in May (so there's still time to sign up).

Bellevue College and Westminster Language Academy spring classes went online too. (They have already begun).
