🤷‍♂️🌎Who should attend?
This meetup is perfect for anyone eager to learn a language, connect with native speakers, and exchange tips with fellow learners!
We welcome all languages and skill levels!

🤷‍♂️🗣How it works:
When you arrive, look for an organizer who will assist you in creating a nametag and finding a seat :)

We'll organize tables based on attendance, with each table featuring English alongside another language.
Our most popular tables include Spanish, Chinese, French, Japanese, German, Korean, and Russian.
Additional tables for Italian and Portuguese are usually available, along with occasional tables for Hebrew and Arabic.
If you're learning a language not listed here, we will have a "General/Mix table" where you can meet others with similar interests.
Please inform the organizers of all the languages you speak or are practicing so we can help connect you with the right partners or set up a new table for you.
Commenting below with your spoken/practiced languages greatly increases your chances of finding practice partners at the event!

Plan to spend about half your time practicing and half helping others ✌
