🤷‍♂️🌎Who should attend this meetup?
This meetup is for anyone who is learning a language and wants to practice speaking with native speakers and get tips from other learners!
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 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 connect with people who share your interests.
When you arrive, 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 spend about half the time practicing and the other half helping others ✌

🤷‍♂️📌Where is the event venue?
The event will take place at 590 Madison Ave, a public indoor atrium with seating. This is our Winter location.
