INT'L CAFE Chicago

Bonjour, Chicago!

Join us for an evening of French conversation and culture at the Chicago Athletic Association's Game Room, right in the heart of downtown.

Whether you're just starting out or fluent, this event is for anyone who wants to practice, improve, or simply enjoy speaking French. Expect lively conversation, language games, and cultural discussion with fellow French enthusiasts — all levels welcome!

This is a social, energetic gathering, not a quiet classroom setting, so come ready to mingle and jump between conversations.

Join us for an evening of sun, sand, and sound. We’re setting up at North Avenue Beach to keep things easy, breezy, and low-key. Come through for some good music and even better company as we soak in the beach vibes.

The Details:
When: July 26th @ 3PM
Where: North Avenue Beach
Admission: Donation-based. All proceeds go directly to the DJ.
The Vibe: Lowkey & chill. We’ll have live sets from Saint Kane to soundtrack the evening. 🎧

What to Bring:
BYOB & Snacks: Pack your own refreshments and favorite beach snacks.
Picnic Essentials: Don’t forget your blankets, towels, or whatever you need to get comfy on the sand.
Swimwear: The water’s waiting if you want to jump in—feel free to wear your swimsuits!

Grab your spot, bring a friend, and let’s enjoy the summer day together.

Join a group of Italian language and culture lovers for Italian practice and community at the bellissima Cara Cara Club.

All levels and dialects of Italian are invited for a bi-weekly conversation club. If you only want to speak Italian, you will have a variety of dialect stickers to choose from (aka, don't wear an English sticker if you want to immerse yourself in Italian). If you just want to be there for cultural vibes, learning motivation, and tv/cinema/music/dining/travel recommendations, that's great too.

Details:

• Club Italiano 6 to 8 PM
• 2nd and 4th Sundays
• $15 ticket (includes a perk)

You have the option to subscribe monthly for $25 instead of paying $30 for each individual ticket. Let us know if you want the link to sign up for the monthly subscription. Seating is limited, so subscription holders will be prioritized.

Cincin!
