What we’re about
Improve your conversational language level with Language Exchange Stockholm!!!
We have regular events for practice of Swedish, Chinese, Arabic, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Portuguese, Finnish and Italian.
Thanks to all our volunteers who give up their time to help, the group has become a wonderful forum for practising languages and making new acquaintances. All our events are for free. Come and improve your fluency with the help of native speakers, and take active part of the group by helping other people who want to learn your language!
If you have any questions, you are welcome to send them to langexchsthlm@gmail.com.

Tips for conversation:
"Interested makes interesting"! If you ask others about them, it is much more likely that they will ask you about you too :-).
Try to ask about things that have to do their opinions, feelings, experiences, conceptions, etc, rather than dry fact. If, for instance, someone tells you that they have a university degree in something, it will be more giving for the conversation to ask why they chose that education or what they liked about it, rather than how many years it took or at what university they did it.

Disucssion topic for June 3
Souvenirs - a waste of time and money?Some people love buying souvenirs when they travel. These can be small things like magnets, keychains, beer bottle openers, or t-shirts that remind them of their trip.
Souvenirs help them remember fun times and share their experiences with others, and can potentially work as a conversation starter when people are over visiting. Having a small item can bring back happy memories years later. Also, buying souvenirs can support local shops and businesses in the places people visit.
Others may think souvenirs are often a waste of money. They can be expensive and might just end up collecting dust at home. Some souvenirs are cheaply made and don't really represent the place visited at all.
Instead of buying things, some people prefer to spend their money on experiences like trying new foods or going on tours, which they feel create better and longer-lasting memories. Or photodocumenting their trip with some degree of skill, as an alternative.Should people spend money on souvenirs when they travel, or is it better to save that money, and time to hunt for a good souvenir, for other things?
