Hello everybody!!

Polyglot metings are going to join up  Lingo Bingo  who are doing their own language meetings in Helsinki (via the much-appreciated organisation 'Jolly Dragon' in Helsinki). They are quite popular as they have been doing this for a while and we are expecting to have plenty of people there (as we always do with Lingo Bingo). I am going to finish sorting out a few details but that's basically it. Just keep checking this page as I am very likely to add some information to it and we will probably have meetings before this date anyway (always on Mondays).

And here is an email I got about the meeting:

'Hi All,

Café Lingua continues again, every Monday!

This autumn, ESN-HYY will have the event together with the Lingo Bingo event
organised by Jolly Dragon, in order to have a greater variety of people and
languages. :-) Never been to Cafe Lingua before? Everyone is welcome to
join, just come and see! We start off this Monday the 18th of August. More
information below.


                                                          CAFÉ LINGUA
                                                          Every Monday
                                                        7 p.m.- 10 p.m.
                                                          in Café Caisa
                                                      (Mikonkatu 17 C)

Café Lingua is an international language café happening, where you can
choose which language you want to practice and meet both Finnish and
foreign students! We organise it about once every two weeks. We'll speak
different languages at different tables. There will be both native and non-
native speakers at each table, and you can change tables when you want. We
will also introduce Theme Nights, where the focus will be on one or two
languages. This is an informal gathering, so the point is just to practice
languages in small groups, get to know people, have a good time and enjoy
some coffee/ tea/ beer/ cider!

You  can just come and join us in Café Lingua at Cozy Café Caisa! You can come see once, twice or every time, there are
always new people and every week is a bit different. For more information
and special language requests, don't hesitate to contact me at

Hellooo!

No pictures as nobody had a camera (well most of us were students...  Times are  hard, haha!) but it didn't make a difference for us. We had a lot of fun. There were about 30 people!!!! As I said earlier, Lingo Bingo has been doing this for a while so they have many "regulars". You too, you might become one of them.... if you show up at least once and see what it is like!!! The first step is the most difficult one. People are shy or unsure. Me too, I wasn't feeling great this day but I forced myself thinking "Ok I'll go there and stay an hour then go to bed", yeah right... I ended up staying 3 hours! Which was the maximum time, and I was disappointed it didn't last longer!! People were great and it was all very organized with "language tables", one for each. Last Monday, we had 6 languages if I remember right: Finnish, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Chinese!! I think Spanish and Chinese had the biggest number of participants. Please do come and have a look just for one evening. This is a wonderful opportunity to practice and improve your language skills FAST. I saw the difference between this and my lessons at university... Well let me tell you those 3 hours were worth over 10 hours at school... It is very motivating when you have "real" speakers in front of you and you speak about whatever comes to your mind. You also make "real" friends, not just messenger contacts.

So, I'll repeat this again: It is every Monday at Café Caisa, from 7pm until 10pm. You can come at anytime and stay as long as you want (some people came after 8H30, some of them left early too although most of them couldn't go away after they had come... It is addictive) but the beauty of it is that you do as you please :)

It is also very easy to find. It is near the Central station in Helsinki center. On the bus side, there is a casino (it is very obvious when you are there) and you will find Café Caisa next to it on the right (you enter a building and there are many bars and cafés inside). Follow the little Caisa arrows and you're there!

Courage!
