What we’re about
Interested in practicing your English? Your Mandarin Chinese? Korean? Japanese? French?
Are you in Edmonton?
Welcome! You are in the right place. This is a conversation focused group.
Basically we will meet, break into pairs/groups and motivate each other to talk.
Either we will have an event that is just focused on one language, or
Each person will have a name tag that says.
I speak ? (either English, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, Japanese, French)
I want to practice ? (either English, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, Japanese, French)
Or we will do table cards
There will be different conversation cards to go off of or if you want to just chat, that is also fine.
Why not other languages? Maybe in the future. At the moment I feel somewhat comfortable getting by in any of these languages so I can substitute and help anyone or if there is a language partner missing, I can jump in.
What if there are only a few people signed up? Great! The point is really to get people comfortable talking in the language they want.
Is this for beginners? If this can give you an incentive to study more, then yes!
If you cannot speak a word you may need to join a group or do more listening. Or try to use an app to help.
Is there a cost? No cost, but be expected to buy a drink (non-alcoholic drink is also fine) to support the venue if we are having it at a venue. If we are having it at someone's personal then there is no need to bring anything, but if you wish to bring something (like a desert or snack to share) that would be nice.
