What we're about

Back in July 2022, I created this group to help facilitate Korean speakers and English speakers to talk and learn from each other across all levels. My goal was to create a similar close-knit group as I had when I was in LA. As of now (April 2023), we have grown to 300+ and more with additional organizers volunteering their time. There are a few things I want to clarify and maintain as the purpose of the group that we do not want to die for the culture of the group as we continue to get bigger:

Goal:

  • Using Language to make lifelong friends

Guidelines:

  • Emotional safety
  • Help make genuine connections
  • Walk away with at least a friend that makes you feel at home

Because of the size of the group, there will be some process changes to keep the events smoother and reduce the toll on the organizers as our group has grown significantly. If people are unaware, organizers also have to pay money to meetup.com to keep the group up and running and volunteer their time. The process changes will be announced sometime in Q2 2023 and effective in Q3 2023. The current planned process is here on the message board.

6월 17일 MeetUp @ Secret Private Club in Santa Clara

Needs a location

$5.00

I booked a venue for April 1st, but there was no room, so changed. the date. Details are the same as follows:
---

There is a 75 people limit, so I am sure whoever wants to come can probably come. The exact address will only be sent to the members who RSVPed...

This is a private club, and I was able to get a significant discount for our group. That also means we all have to sign in with an entry fee...of $5.00. You can Venmo me directly on the day of the event.

The place has tennis courts, basketball, a swimming pool, and a ping pong table. Of course, we are all here to do a language exchange right?
