Why intensity does not last

Relationships are not one-off

Team events and retreats are precious, but challenges are more frequent.

Grammar and books
do not get us real(ly) speaking

Language courses teach rules, yet learners do not speak regularly in real life — or it takes long. Languages of international and local coworkers do not come together. They learn in isolation.

Questions organisations ask

What is a Kekombo language exchange for teams, companies and organisations?

Engaging sessions where local and international coworkers practice languages together, with native peers. Learning languages in a highly interactive way and in the moment, not the traditional way. The sessions are guided with playful and interactive activities, so the focus stays on speaking, listening and enjoying.

What will we achieve through Kekombo sessions?

Given the "offering and receiving" structure and playfulness of the session, a safe-space creates and participants loose the fear of making mistakes, grow confidence and language fluency. On top, your employees or members develop new or stronger relationships across cultures, roles, and bubbles: you foster collaboration, they feel they belong.

Who is it for?

Companies and communities that want to turn diversity, integration and engagement into something tangible. They'd like to boost cross-cultural connection of their employees or members and their language skills at the same time. It suits organisations with a mix of local and international coworkers or members who want to offer fresh and highly interactive experiences in-house or setup an effective initiative that is lightweight to sustain in the long-run.

How does a session run?

Participants join — spontaneously is fine — and create a short language profile the first time. Kekombo matches learners with native or fluent speakers into balanced small groups, a guided interactive session runs, and groups shuffle and swap roles over time. It's design to fit into a lunch break or can run longer for a relaxed Apéro after work.

Is there a long-term commitment?

No. You can book a single session for your organisation, with no setup overhead and no long-term commitment.

Which languages are covered?

Any language is welcome. Languages stay flexible and adapt to who is present, matching learners with fluent speakers in the room.
