### 🌏🌸 ALOHA Fridays: Language Exchange & Board-Game Social

…plus afterparty 😍

Why come?

  • Practise languages in real life β€” swap English, and any other language with travellers and locals.
  • Break the ice over board games β€” Jenga, UNO, Cards Against Humanity, and other quick-to-learn games are on every table.
  • Make genuine friends β€” most guests arrive solo; our hosts introduce you so nobody’s left standing awkwardly.
  • Finish on the dance floor β€” from 10 pm we clear the tables, turn up the beats and dance till late.

*ALOHA CODE OF CONDUCT*

  1. Community first: We’re here to talk, laugh, and learn β€” not speed-date.
  2. Zero harassment: Pickup tactics and aggressive flirting = instant ban.
  3. Look out for each other: If anyone makes you uneasy, tell a host or door staff immediately.

### πŸ’– WOMEN-LED & SAFETY FIRST

  • Female-Founded & Hosted: Aloha is the only Sydney language exchange started and still run by a woman. Most events have a female host on duty all night.
  • Buddy Bands: Ask at check-in to be paired with another woman or mixed group for your first hour.
  • One-Strike Ban: We have banned many people over the years and are not afraid to ban anyone who makes others feel uncomfortable.
  • Quiet Reporting: DM @alohasydney on Instagram or message an admin in our whatsapp group.

### Stay connected

Bring a friend β€” or just bring yourself. Either way, you’ll leave with new phrases, new mates, and maybe a new dance move. See you Friday! πŸ₯³
