🔥 ¿Qué puedes esperar? / What to Expect?

• Hi Hellos & Icebreaker (15 min) – We kick things off with a fun, quick game to get everyone talking (think “Two Truths and a Lie” or “Speed Intros”).
• Conversación Practice (45 min) – A mix of structured and free-flowing discussions:
  - Themed chats on fun, useful topics like travel, food, and daily life.
  - Role-playing situations (ordering tacos, making a reservation, asking for directions). You’ll switch partners every 2–5 minutes to keep things fresh!
  - 1 frase de historia chain game – Each person adds one full sentence to an ongoing story, switching between Spanish and English. It’s a great way to practice on the fly and see where the story takes us!
  - Free-flowing conversations – Now it's time to breathe, move around, and chat with different people at your own pace. Share your language goals—whether it's improving pronunciation, building confidence, or just speaking more—so others can help you along the way!

It’s fun and laid-back - whether you're here to refine your skills, get more speaking time, or just meet others on the same language-learning journey. See you there! 🚀💬

LingoFest Social on first Tuesdays of the month is for EVERYONE—whether you speak one language, two, or five! We love nuevas personas, nuevos idiomas, y nueva energía (new people, new languages, and new energy). Prometemos que la pasarás bien (We promise you’ll have a great time!)—just bring yourself and some curiosity!

¡Ven a charlar, aprender y hacer nuevos amigos! (Come chat, learn, and make new friends!) 🚀💬

### A Quick Note on Community & Respect:

You’ll be welcomed by one of us at the event (Taz, Cass, Mila, Chris) —your language-loving peacekeepers and guardians of good vibes! (Because someone’s gotta keep things awesome, right?)

The meetups are all about learning, sharing, and practicing together in a space that’s fun, supportive, and judgment-free. If you’re meeting someone new and want to stay connected, we recommend sharing your Discord instead of your phone number (way easier, way safer). But hey, if you’re cool swapping contact info, that’s totally up to you—just make sure you feel comfortable first.

And real talk—if anything ever feels off or makes you uncomfortable, don’t hesitate. Come find us right away. We’ll step in, have your back, and make sure this space stays safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.

Let’s keep it focused, friendly, and fun—and most importantly, let’s learn and grow together! 🎉💬
