🤷‍♂️🌎Who should join this event?
This meetup is for anyone learning a language who wants to practice speaking with native speakers and learn from fellow learners!
All languages and proficiency levels are welcome!

🤷‍♂️🗣How it works:
When you arrive, look for one of our organizers who will help you create a nametag and find a seat :)

We will have multiple tables, each focused on English plus another language.
Our popular tables include Spanish, Chinese, French, Japanese, German, Korean, and Russian.
We usually have tables for Italian and Portuguese, and occasionally for Hebrew and Arabic.
If you speak or are learning a language not mentioned above, we will also have a "General/Mix table" where you can find people with similar interests.
Please inform the organizers of all the languages you speak/practice upon arrival so that we can help you connect with the right people or set up a table for you.
Commenting below with the languages you speak/practice greatly increases your chances of finding language partners at the event!

We encourage you to spend about half the time practicing your target language and the other half helping others ✌
