What we’re about
We are a Korean-English language exchange group for anyone interested in Korean language and culture. All skills levels are welcome. We are always looking to find language exchange partners who are learning Korean or English in the Chicagoland area and beyond (we have language exchange with our friends in Korea online via Zoom).
Have a look at what we’ve got coming up, and if you’re interested in joining us in any our events, simply get in touch today.

## 한국어 원어민들을 위한 특별한 메시지입니다...
영어를 연습하고 친구도 사귀어요!
한국어/영어 언어교환 모임에 참여해보세요! 한류 열풍으로 한국어를 배우고 싶어하는 미국인들이 정말 많아요! 시카고뿐만 아니라 한국에서도 원어민을 찾고 있습니다.
우리는 토요일 아침(시카고 시간)에 카페에서 만나거나 토요일 아침(한국 시간)에 온라인으로 만납니다. 짧은 자기소개 후, 15분 동안 영어로, 15분 동안 한국어로 번갈아가며 대화합니다 (시카고에서 언어교환이 끝난 후, 점심식사까지 함께 해도 좋습니다.)
만약 여러분 혹은 친구가 영어 연습과 미국인 친구 사귀기에 관심이 있다면, 우리 그룹에 가입하세요!

See all- Buffalo Grove Saturday Korean-English Free Conversation TablePanera Bread, Buffalo Grove, IL
Let’s meet for a language exchange! How it works:
We meet at a Panera Bread in Buffalo Grove for conversation practice. After brief introductions, we will alternate between 15 minutes of English and 15 minutes of Korean (up to 90 minutes). For those who are new to Korean, we have a separate group that focuses on Korean vocab and basic grammar.
After our Conversation Table, if anyone wants to go out for lunch, we can eat together too!
Since space is limited, please RSVP ASAP. We usually have Conversation Table on the third Saturday of every month!
Also, we highly recommend that you bring a notebook with you to jot down new vocabulary words that you learn during conversation (you should then try to master those words as you will use many of the same words over and over again in real-life conversation!).
