Conversation

Hi all! My name is Cara, and I am a native English speaker from America living in Prague. This a meet up for t**hose learning English as a second language** and want the **opportunity to practice**. It will be a fun and relaxed setting where we will play games to **promote English conversations** or have some kind of activity. This club will meet **every other (two Mondays each month) Monday evening.** The goal is for each person to walk away having learned new English words and have more confidence when speaking in English. Please, bring some money if you want to purchase a coffee from Evento. **This event is sponsored by a church.** The church that sponsors this English meet up is **Církev bratrská, Bohnice** [https://www.cbbohnice.cz](https://www.cbbohnice.cz/) . We want to live lives that are reflective of Jesus. Like Jesus we want to help others in meeting a practical need, in this case that would be speaking in English. At the end of the English club, we will extend an invite to anyone who is interested in exploring faith, wants to know more about Jesus, or wants to meet up to read from the Bible. However, we will never trick you into attending and will always be honest about the content of our meetings. *You do not have to attend religious events to be a part of English Club.*

This meetup is for foreigners, expats, and newcomers who want to practice Czech in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We will speak mostly in simple Czech, but beginners are welcome too. The goal is to gain confidence, improve your speaking, and meet new people. Come for conversation, tea or coffee, and a cozy community feel. It's free in community centre U Studánky 15.Praha 7 Organised by Diakonia.

It's open gaming night again! Come alone (or with friends) and meet some new people to game with. Just look for the 'Open Gaming' table(s) and feel free to sit in.

Learning Czech can be hard and demotivating, especially when studying alone. **This meetup is a shared study session where we come together to stay focused, motivated, and make progress — each in our own way.** This is a co-learning / co-studying session, not a class. There is no teacher, no lesson, and no study material provided. Everyone comes with their own resources and studies independently, in a shared environment. 🧠 **How it works** • We all bring our own material: • textbooks • homework from a Czech course • Duolingo or other apps • reading practice • vocabulary review, etc. • We mainly work individually • We are free to: • ask questions • help each other • share tips and resources • No teacher, no formal structure, no pressure 👥 **Who is it for?** • Czech learners of all levels • Non-Czech speakers (expats, internationals) • Czech native speakers are welcome if they want to help, but this is not a language exchange ⏱ **Practical info** • Location: Cafedu 12, Škrétova 490, 120 00 Praha 2 (Metro A and C, Muzeum station) • Duration: 2 hours, or less or more, as you want • Day & time: Monday, 18:00 • Group size: small group for now • Free event — please support the café by ordering a drink ☕ If you’re learning Czech and lack motivation when studying alone, come join us — let’s find it together 🙂

Are you learning English as a second language and looking for a chance to practice? Join our **English Conversation Club**! We create a friendly atmosphere with **games and activities** designed to help you improve your conversational skills. Our goal is simple: **leave each session with new words and more confidence speaking English!** **Details:** * **Cost:** Free (bring some money to buy a drink at Tichá Kavárna) * **Frequency:** Meets regularly based on attendance * **Who:** Anyone studying or practicing English **Things to know:** Tichá Kavárna is a social enterprise café that creates jobs for the deaf community and connects the hearing and deaf worlds. Guests can order in sign language or simply point to the menu, making communication easy. Profits support services for the deaf and the café’s development. This event is sponsored by the church **Církev bratrská, Bohnice** [https://www.cbbohnice.cz](https://www.cbbohnice.cz/). We believe in helping others with practical needs—like learning English—while we live lives that reflect Jesus. At the end of each session, we’ll offer an open invitation for anyone interested in exploring faith, reading the Bible, or learning more about Jesus. **Participation in religious activities is completely optional.** We will never trick you into attending and will always be honest about the content of our meetings.

In a world full of opinions, noise, and quick reactions, we often miss spaces for real dialogue — for slowing down, listening, and connecting with one another. This evening is an invitation to do exactly that. Join us for an open and friendly evening (in English & free of charge) dedicated to How We Die. We will brainstorm together in an Open Space–style format, where participants choose topics themselves about what we want to discuss from this broad topic - questions to help you get inspired: What does it mean to die? Do we have a right to die? Can we lose it? Can we be forced to stay alive? Afterwards, participants will form small groups to explore the questions and insights around the topics 18:00 – Doors open 18:15 – Introduction & topic selection 18:40 - We start discussions 19:40 - Closing session (sharing activities) 20:00 - Networking & Connect What to expect: A welcoming space for newcomers and regulars alike Be slightly pushed to socialize Open, participant-led small-group discussions on diverse perspectives No expertise required — everyone’s opinion matters! Safe, respectful, and judgment-free conversations More about sharing and reflecting than debating or convincing No pressure to speak — listening is just as valuable Not a lecture, not a debate club, and definitely not intimidating! Feel free to bring some snacks to share! Friendly dogs are welcome! If you are a regular that appreciate us and can help, or a newcomer who enjoyed the evening, and wants to help, we have recently set a Patreon page where you can support us! https://www.patreon.com/cw/EarthSocietyDialogues

Hi. I would like to set up the first event. This is a space and opportunity to discuss all the things spiritual in a relaxed manner. It is a space where our discussions should bring you joy without any sense of obligation to participate if you don't feel like it. After all bringing just your presence is no small task :) And it's one of the most important things in raising your state of consciousness :) As this is the first meeting it could just be a lightweight conversation or if you feel like we can dive in into more serious fundamental topics. It depends on what are you interested in. It could be: * where are we on the Map of Consciousness (different paradigms) * the nature of our 3D physical reality * nervous system regulation * Biocentrism etc. There's a lot we can talk about and everyone of us has a different level of knowledge and is at a different stage of awareness. Feel free to join and see you there, Daniel

Join our discussion about prominent conspiracy theories. Either you’d like to debunk them or provide reasons for agreeing with them, we’d like to hear you! I’ve been arguing with my colleague Giuseppe at the office for three years now trying to prove him that the Moon landing did happen. After three years and his constant speculations, I hardly believe in it anymore. Still, I am pro science and he questions it, so I decided to bring us two and invite more curious people in to discuss pros and cons of the legitimacy of those theories. At our second seating, we will talk respectfully about: * Dinosaurs’ existence; * The conspiracy behind breakfast being the most important meal of the day; * 9/11 ‘Inside Job’. For each of the topic, please bring your opinion backed by facts that you would like to present to the group. Also, please be respectful of the people who think differently from you. Useful read to get into the concept of breakfast as a century-old marketing campaign engineered by food corporations: [Breakfast conspiracy](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/nov/28/breakfast-health-america-kellog-food-lifestyle) See you all!

**Frontend developers in 2026 are spoiled for choice. New frameworks promising freedom, AI assistants promising to handle the boring parts. But between the framework debates and the quiet burnout, what actually delivers in day-to-day work?** Join us on **Tuesday, May 26**, for an evening focused on the honest reality of frontend development in 2026. Four engineers from Applifting and Mews will share what's actually working—and what isn't—in framework decisions, AI workflows, and the human side of keeping up with constant change. Let's meet in the **Applifting meetup space**, both in person and online. **We’ll start at 18:00.** 👉[ Register here](https://applifting.io/events/frontend-crew-talk-when-tools-move-faster-than-us) 👈 **if you want to attend in person.

Then, they will be joined for the panel discussion by **[Matyas Mihálka](https://www.linkedin.com/in/matyasmih%C3%A1lka/)**, frontend tech lead at Applifting, bringing a grounded take on what AI coding tools actually deliver day-to-day and how to adopt them without burning out. **We look forward to meeting you!** **Schedule:** **17:30 – Doors open** * Get your ticket ready, say hello to others, and have a drink with us. 🥂 **18:00 – Introduction by Filip Kirschner** * Our co-founder Filip will give you a short welcome and introduce our speakers. **18:15 – Two philosophies, one decision: Next.js vs TanStack Start in 2026 with Michal Čížek** * *Next.js has shaped React for years.
