The Auburn Valley YMCA offers a free ESL (English as a Second Language) conversation group – a great opportunity for those to practice speaking English in a relaxed, friendly setting.

A volunteer will plan and facilitate small group discussions on a variety of topics. The program is for beginning to advanced learners.

The program runs 5 to 6 p.m. each Monday, from now through Aug. 29. Class is held in the kitchen by the family center.

The class is open to the community. Participants need to bring identification to gain access to the building.

The Y is located at 1620 Perimeter Road SW.
