italki is a global language learning community that connects students and teachers for 1-on-1 online language lessons. At italki, we believe that human interaction and cultural sharing are the best way to become fluent in a foreign language. With over 5 million students and 10, 000 high-quality teachers teaching more than 130 languages, italki helps everyone with their personal journey to fluency.
Amidst one of the largest forced migrations in history, Conversations Unbound launched in 2015 as a coordinated effort involving Vassar College, italki.com, and dedicated Arabic tutors in Paris.
Started in early 2018, italki's partnership with Asylos (an international network of volunteers who research vital information to support people fleeing war, violence, persecution and grave threats with claiming their right to asylum) saw volunteers connecting with italki teachers and improving their language skills to enable better communication with asylum seekers.
