Join us every Thursday evening for the Glasgow Language Exchange, where over 50 people meet each week to practice new languages, share cultures, and make new friends.

🙋 Who is this for?
All languages and levels are welcome, and we are inclusive of all ages, races, religions etc. Whether you're a polyglot, a beginner just starting with Duolingo Spanish, or you just want to come and socialise, you will be welcomed to our community of language learners and international friends.
🙌 What to Expect:
Language Practice: Whether you’re fluent in Spanish, Italian, English, Arabic, Russian, Mandarin, or any other language, our hosts will help you connect with people who match your language interests.
Friendly Hosts: Our hosts will greet you at the entrance, give you a label where you can write the language(s) you speak and the ones you’d like to learn or practice.
Inclusive Atmosphere: We welcome all languages and levels, and make sure everyone feels comfortable—especially if you're coming alone! It’s a relaxed environment perfect for making new friends and practising languages at your own pace.
Socialising - Coming alone or with friends, this is a great opportunity to meet new people in the city. Unlike some other meetup ‘groups’, we do not fill our events with fake members, and you can check how many people attend each week via our Instagram.
Halfway through the night there will be a mini-quiz, with a prizes to be won👀. Our quiz is designed to help you meet new people and get involved - do not feel worried about coming alone.
👋 How does it work?
Arrive! No need to register, just come to our event any time between 7-9pm and our event host will welcome you. They will have an orange lanyard and will be sitting next to our sign.
Our hosts will give you your ‘Language Label’. Here you will have your name, the languages you are learning, and the languages you can help others with.
Pay. Our £1 event fee pays for our lovely event hosts and keeps the event going. Card only please.
Get talking! With the help of our host you will be able to find other people attending the event with compatible language interests - we are all very friendly and the majority of our attendees come alone, so there’s no need to worry about getting involved!
