What we’re about
Stockholm Polyglots
Website: https://polyglots.se
Why join our community?
In today’s society, it’s possible to live or travel in a foreign country without ever interacting with locals or experiencing their native language.
Our mission is to build bridges between people, regardless of social, cultural, or ethnic background, through language-related interactions.
Stockholm Polyglots is an official non-profit association.
The word polyglot derives from the Greek word πολύγλωσσος, meaning “a person who speaks many languages.” There is no official number of languages you need to know to be called a polyglot. Our group is open to anyone with a passion for learning languages, no matter how many languages you speak.
How?
1. Introducing people to new languages and cultures in an open and friendly atmosphere.
2. Providing opportunities for language practice through multilingual conversations.
When/Where?
Every second Thursday at Marie Laveau Bar, 19:00–21:30. We offer language tables and presentations by community members on languages and language-related topics.
How did it all start?
Stockholm Polyglots was initiated by Jonatan Haile (organizer of this group) in February 2024, inspired by attending the Polyglot Gathering every summer since 2022 (https://www.polyglotgathering.com/2024/en/). He created a space for language enthusiasts in Stockholm to come together. What began with just a few meetups has since grown into a vibrant community of passionate polyglots, united by a genuine love for languages.
We’re excited to extend our invitation to fellow language enthusiasts who are driven by passion rather than obligation. Join us in fostering a warm and inspiring polyglot community!
