🤷‍♂️🌎Who should attend?
If you're learning a language and want to practice speaking with native speakers and get tips from other learners, this meetup is for you!
All languages and levels are welcome!

🤷‍♂️🗣How does it work?
When you arrive, look for an organizer who will help you make a nametag and find a seat :)

We will have multiple tables based on attendance, each dedicated to English + another language.
Our popular tables include 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 isn't mentioned above, we'll have a "General/Mix table" where you can find people who share your interests.
When you arrive, please inform the organizers of all the languages you speak/practice, so we can help you connect with the right people or set up a table for you.
Commenting below with the languages you speak/practice significantly increases the chances of finding practice partners at the event!

You should spend about half the time practicing and half the time helping others ✌

🤷‍♂️📌Where?
If the weather permits, this event will take place outdoors *in front* of the New York Public Library (opposite to Bryant Park)!
