🤷‍♂️🌎Who should attend?
This meetup is perfect for anyone learning a language and looking to practice speaking with native speakers and get tips from fellow learners!
All languages and proficiency levels are welcome!

🤷‍♂️🗣How it works:
When you arrive, seek out an organizer who will help you create a nametag and find a seat :)

We will have several 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 occasionally for Hebrew and Arabic.
If you speak or are learning a language not mentioned above, we also have a "General/Mix table" where you can connect with people who share your interests.
Upon arrival, please inform the organizers of all the languages you speak/practice, so we can help you find 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 aim to spend roughly half of the time practicing and the other half helping others ✌

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