Language exchange - meeting people, practicing foreign languages and having fun
I am in Łódź, Poland
and last night I came across a concept that I really liked so I want to share
it with you. We went to a bar on Piotrkowska
Street 102, where every Thursday night there is a Language Exchange
meeting. What is a Language Exchange?
A nice opportunity to interact with people from different countries, have
interesting conversations and maybe build friendships. If you enjoy meeting
people, especially from other nationalities and like sharing life stories and
experiences, this kind of event is perfect for you.
When you arrive there you
have to put on a sticker with your name, your native language and the other
languages that you know. Then you just start approaching people based on the
common language(s) that you can speak. I also read somewhere that some nights tables
are arranged by language – another way of connecting the people that are attending the meeting.
I found this concept
really interesting and fun. Plus, the place looks really nice. So I searched
whether there are such events in Bucharest as well, and I happily found
something similar: Language Exchange Bucharest.
Language Exchange Bucharest is a bit different, as it is focused on learning
and practicing foreign languages by speaking them with other people. The
meetings are organized weekly or once every 2 weeks in coffee shops and tea
houses and the languages used are English, German, French, Spanish, Russian and
Italian (only one language used per meeting). During the events you can communicate
in the meeting’s language but there are also other activities that you can
attend like film, karaoke, game night meetings, trips and parties. This idea is
also nice and all the meetings are free of charge.
Do you have this kind
of meetings in your city/country?
