Asian Language Exchange
& Social Network
We are the Asian Language Exchange & Social Network (ALESN – pronounced “Allison”), a volunteer-run program that is focused on teaching Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) and other Asian languages. ALESN currently has over 20 volunteers and hundreds of active participants coming together from diverse backgrounds to learn and help spread our love for Asian languages and cultures.
