Hello, my name is Leo Choi. I am from Korea. First, I want to clarify that I am not an English education professional or involved in any related field.
I've been working as a cook at a hotel in Calgary through the Working Holiday Visa program. As someone who always finds learning English as a second language challenging, I thought it would be nice to practice English speaking in a comfortable environment with people in similar situations, so I decided to organize this meetup.
I enjoy visiting the Calgary Central Library or Memorial park Library in Downtown on my days off, so I plan to hold the meetup in one of its rooms.
My current English level is between B1 and B2. Based on my experience meeting many people who learn English as a second language, I believe that beginners and advanced speakers are not ideal partners for practicing together due to the difference in their levels. Therefore, I am personally looking for people with an intermediate level of English. However, this is not mandatory, and anyone learning English as a second language is welcome.
During the meetup, I plan to divide attendees into groups of 2-6 people depending on the overall numbers and have them switch members every 30mins for casual free-talking sessions on light topics. If possible, I would like to limit each person’s speaking time to within 3 minutes. I think this will give more people the opportunity to practice more.
To add some fun to the meetup, we will also play a simple game. The winner will receive a small chocolate as a prize.
Feedback on how to improve the meetup is always welcome.
I hope this meetup will be an opportunity for us to have a positive impact on each other.
Additionally, I am looking for someone to help co-organize this meetup. That way, you can save a lot of money, Also, I believe that co-hosting and running the group together will definitely have a positive impact on each other’s English skills. If you’re interested, please let me know!

Our meetup is for people who use English as a second language at an intermediate level (not mandatory). The purpose is to practice speaking and make foreign friends. I hope you come with an open mind, ready to have comfortable and enjoyable conversations.

First, we’ll have a group chat session with groups of 2 to 5 people.
Next, we will have two different types of English quiz games for about 30 minutes.- The number and types of games are subject to change depending on the situation.
