About us
Welcome, my friends! đź‘‹
My name is Cristian Trombetta, and I’m the organizer of SLEX – Saturday Language Exchange, based in the beautiful city of Como!
I’m starting this group because I’ve noticed that there aren’t many social events happening in Como on Saturday evenings, and I’d love to change that!
I’ve recently been organizing via ferrata adventures, bringing together wonderful people, making new friends, and having a great time along the way.
That experience made me realize how much I enjoy connecting people, so I thought: why not bring the same spirit to international social events?
And that’s how SLEX was born!
The idea is simple: bring together people from different backgrounds and nationalities to practice languages, meet new friends, share experiences, and enjoy a relaxed Saturday evening over a drink.
No pressure, no formal lessons, just good conversations and great company!
Whether you’re Italian, an expat, a student, or simply someone who enjoys meeting new people, you’re more than welcome!
Let’s make Saturday nights in Como a little more international, social, and fun! 🌍🍻
See you at SLEX!
