LST is a Christian organization that brings American university students to Europe during their summer vacation. These students want to come and get to know Europeans better, but in order to be a part of the project they agree to offer free English Conversation classes. This allows them to know the people more personally rather than if they were just tourists. Students from past years have made many friends through these English classes.
They use a conversation text that is taken from the New Testament, along with simple exercises in vocabulary, grammar and written and oral comprehension. They use the texts as a starting point for the conversations, but there is also a great deal of freedom to talk about many other topics which you may suggest.
The classes are individual conversation classes. That means you have an American "partner" and you are with him/her one-on-one. The classes last for 45 minutes and people can come as often as their partner has time, from Sunday evening to Thursday evening.
Since the Americans do not speak French, this gives you a wonderful opportunity to really practice your English and you get a lot of time to speak. But you must be able to communicate in English. There's no need to be fluent, of course, but beginners cannot participate in the project.
Other activities that the students organize are picnics, barbecues, English evenings, etc. They try to provide as many ways as possible for you to meet other English speakers and to use your English in a "natural" setting.

LST gives Americans the opportunity to know another culture better, and gives local people the opportunity to practice their English with native English Speakers.
Just contact us by sending us an email (brady.steph
@bluewin.ch) or call us at 021/646.75.05. You must be able to
communicate in English and be able to come to the classes at least
once per week.
The courses are free. The American students save up money and do many things to collect money for their LST experience. They are lodged for free by the Lausanne Church of Christ, so that their stay is more affordable.
The students use simple texts that come from the Gospel of Luke. These texts are a starting point for conversations, and the students have been trained to give the classes using this material.
Since students go to over 20 different countries every year, they need a common text that can be used everywhere. The lesson are constructed so that you can talk about many different things BESIDES the weather and travel.
You'll learn to express your opinions and share what you think.
But I'm not a Christian. Can I still participate?
Of course. People from all religions and nationalities can participate. Last year there were Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and people with no religion who participated.
Classes last for 45 minutes. You can schedule a class from Sunday afternoon to Thursday evening, from 10:00 to 21:00. The classes are individual, so you have a maximum amount of time to speak English.
The classes take place at Av. de France 77, 1004 Lausanne on the ground floor. You can use the back entrance.
Yes. In 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000. About 350 people have practiced their English with with the different LST projects.
