🤷‍♂️🌎Who is this meetup for?

Anyone who is learning a language and wants to practice speaking with native speakers and get tips from other learners!

All languages and levels are welcome!

🤷‍♂️🗣How it works:

Please look for an organizer when you arrive and we'll help you make a nametag and get seated :)

We will have several tables based on attendance, each table is for English + another language.

Our popular tables are: Spanish, Chinese, French, Japanese, German, Korean, and Russian.

We usually have tables for Italian and Portuguese and sometimes for Hebrew and Arabic.

If you speak or are learning a language that is not mentioned above we also will have a "General/Mix table" where you can hopefully find people that share your interests.

When you arrive please tell the organizers all of the languages you speak/practice that way we can help you find the right people or set up a table for you.

Commenting below with the languages you speak/practice significantly raises the chances of finding practice partners at the event!

You should be spending about half the time practicing and half the time helping others ✌
