A great example of a conversation
They trust us. Why not you?
“Fun and learning all in one!”
At first, it was a bit difficult for me to have a smooth conversation in French. But my partner was very patient. They helped me correct myself and grow my vocabulary. I’m really happy I joined the adventure!
“Some fun and some learning!”
What’s beautiful is this special bond we create, which naturally leads to better learning on one side and a true sense of usefulness on the other, all wrapped in genuine shared friendship.
“I started learning again”
My tandem partner helps me with vocabulary and grammar. I always look forward to our online meetings and I hope we’ll have many more interesting conversations.
“It’s an exceptional adventure”
Solidarity is the driving force behind the ShareAmi program. A beautiful human adventure that allowed me to meet inspiring people who took on the challenge of changing how society sees seniors.

“Our conversations were very enjoyable”
Our conversations were very enjoyable. I’ve grown fond of this weekly moment where Carmen brings me so much. I hope I’m giving her everything she needs to improve her French.
“It’s an amazing experience”

Experiencing intergenerational and intercultural encounters again and again will never leave me indifferent. Thanks to ShareAmi, I enjoy moments of connection and joy that brighten my everyday life.

“I didn’t hesitate!”
I was quickly connected with a young English woman. We share many interests. Normandy and England have a sea, pieces of history, and thousands of words in common.
“A new way to learn!”
Without in-person classes, ShareAmi has been a valuable opportunity for me not only to improve my language skills, but also to share and understand another culture.
