EXPATS LISBON CONNECTION

This time our theme is Nature & Environment — favorite places in nature, small eco-habits, climate concerns, and how people connect with the natural world in different cultures.

We’ll talk about landscapes that make us feel calm, outdoor traditions, and the ways people try (or sometimes forget) to live more sustainably. From national parks and hidden natural spots to everyday choices like recycling or reducing waste, this theme invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and the planet.

It’s a great opportunity to share experiences, compare perspectives from different countries, and practice your target language while discussing something that affects everyone.

Our languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and German.

At Speak & Sip, we do things a little differently. There’s structure — but the atmosphere is still relaxed. Think of it as semi-serious, semi-casual: fun and social, but with the clear purpose of improving our language skills.

Here’s how it works:

• Each language has its own table with a host or fluent speakers to guide the group.

• Native speakers are always welcome to join their table and support learners.

• For the first hour, we use conversation cards on the theme to keep things flowing. You’ll switch partners regularly so you can practice with different people.

• The second hour is dedicated to games related to the theme — light, interactive, and designed to make everyone speak more.

If you want something lighter, there will also be an English chill table where people can sit together and talk about any topic. But if your goal is to practice languages in a structured way, this is the right meetup for you.

Our aim is simple: to connect through language, to learn from each other, and to make progress while enjoying good company.

Memogram & What Do You Meme Night

Two fast, chaotic party games built around captions, reactions, and very questionable humor.

What Do You Meme is simple:
You get a photo. Everyone plays their funniest caption card. The judge picks the winner. The darker and more absurd your humor, the better your chances.

Memogram works in a similar way, but with a slightly different structure and tone. It mixes meme culture with unexpected prompts, forcing you to think fast and choose the most inappropriate (or painfully accurate) response.

Both games are easy to learn. No preparation needed.
You don’t need to be “funny.” You just need to be brave enough to play.

Expect:
– competitive judging
– unpredictable group dynamics
– moments you’ll regret laughing at

This time our theme is Pets & Animals — beloved pets, favorite animals, funny stories, and the very different ways cultures think about animals.

We’ll talk about animals we grew up with, unusual pets people keep around the world, and how animals appear in traditions, symbols, or everyday life. From heartwarming stories to slightly chaotic pet experiences, this theme is perfect for storytelling, laughter, and discovering cultural differences.

Whether you’re an animal lover or just have a good story to tell, this theme makes for relaxed conversations and plenty of opportunities to practice your language.

This time our theme is Love & Dating Across Cultures — first dates, awkward moments, dating apps, and how relationships begin in different parts of the world.

We’ll explore how cultural expectations shape dating, what people consider romantic (or embarrassing), and how modern technology has changed the way people meet. From funny misunderstandings to surprising cultural traditions, this theme offers plenty of room for humor, curiosity, and cultural comparison.

It’s a great opportunity to exchange stories, reflect on different social norms, and practice speaking about relationships and social life in your target language.
