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 practicing languages at your own pace.
Socializing: 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.

It’s free! Just buy your own drinks if you’d like.
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!
