Hi,

My name is Rodrigo Trevino and I work at the University of Maryland's
Language House. The Language House houses our immersion program where
undergraduate students who wish to greatly improve their skills at a foreign
language live together to practice that language at all times. Moreover,
they live with a mentor who is a native speaker and who is able to help them
out with their language questions. We currently have a total of 10 languages
as part of our immersion program.

Every Monday, from 4:00 - 5:30, we also host a International Coffee Chat
hour, where people from all over our campus come to practice any of 14
languages we have (the 10 languages which we do for our immersion program
plus 4 more). We thought it may be fun to have Esperanto as a "guest
language" one week. More specifically, we can set aside a few tables for
Esperanto during our Coffee Chat hour, and invite representatives from the
Esperanto Society of Washington to moderate those tables. Of course, since
most people will not be fluent in Esperanto, it will be mostly an
opportunity to share the history of Esperanto, its grammatical structure,
and hopefully some vocabulary. We hope to advertise the guest language
around campus to get everyone excited (and curious) about Esperanto.

We hope you would be interested in this. If so, please let us know which
Monday this semester would work best for you. If Monday is a bad day,
perhaps we can do something else on another day, but we think it would be
best to have Esperanto as our guest language during our International Coffee
Chat hour. Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Rodrigo Trevino
