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

🤷‍♂️🗣How it works:
Upon arrival, please find an organizer who will assist you in creating a nametag and finding a seat :)

We will have multiple tables based on the number of attendees, each table 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 that is not mentioned above, we also have a "General/Mix table" where you can hopefully find others who share your interests.
Please inform the organizers of all the languages you speak/practice upon arrival, so we can assist you in finding the right people or setting up a table for you.
Commenting below with the languages you speak/practice significantly increases the chances of finding practice partners at the event!

We encourage spending approximately equal time practicing and helping others ✌

🤷‍♂️📌Where?
As there is no rain forecasted, this event will be held outdoors *in front* of the New York Public Library (opposite to Bryant Park)!
