The city of Bellevue will offer a free workshop to provide everyday tips and strategies for communicating with limited-English speakers at 7 p.m. June 28 at City Hall, 450 110th Ave. NE.
Led by Marci Williams, an English as a Second Language (ESL) coordinator for Hopelink’s adult education program, the workshop will include tips for speaking, listening, writing and understanding, as well as some exploration of cultural cautions and taboos. Hopelink is a non-profit provider of social services on the Eastside.
The program is designed for people who want to be culturally sensitive in today’s world and who want to communicate respect. It’s also for those who speak another language and want to improve their communication skills.
The workshop is part of the neighborhood forum educational series, sponsored by Neighborhood Outreach. For more information, contact Julie Ellenhorn, 425-452-6836.
