What we’re about
### Welcome to the Spanish & English Language Meetup in Chicago!
This group is for anyone looking to practice Spanish or English or both through real conversation, cultural exchange, and meaningful connection — no formal lessons, just authentic dialogue in a relaxed and friendly setting.

### 🪑 How It Works – Choose Your Table:
To help everyone get the most out of the exchange, we’ll offer three conversation tables based on your language goals:
- English Practice Table – For anyone who wants to improve their English skills.
- Spanish Practice Table – For anyone who wants to practice speaking Spanish.
- 🔁 Spanish-English Exchange Table – For those who want to take turns speaking both languages. We’ll alternate every 30 minutes: first English, then Spanish.
