\*These classes are not a language exchange, but instead are meant to be a step in between so that students feel confident maintaining in depth and grammatically correct oral conversations outside of class\* \***Meetup event numbers only tend to show new students registering and do not include returning students attending class.** **Per class, there is an average of 7 students.** The first 2 classes are free and then only cost between $15 and $35 depending on which type of class you want to continue with\* These French, English (For Spanish and French speakers only), and Spanish classes are primarily meant for adults who are travellers, or who are planning to live in a French, English, or Spanish-speaking country. The classes are primarily oral-based through guided conversations. They will teach you how to handle conversations in situations such as **"Going to the Convenience Store"**, **"Making Plans"**, **"Negotiating Prices"**, and **"Going out for a Drink"**. To ensure that students get used to using the language automatically, students will learn to maintain contextual conversations with timing before moving on to the next lesson. Call (647)787-9953, e-mail us info@monkeylingo.ca, or visit monkeylingo.ca for more information! **Online and private classes are also available!** No other language classes are as conversational as these ones. We guarantee it! Cheap parking can be found using the "Spot Hero" app.

**What if it all works out? And how would that feel?** Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-if-it-all-works-out-a-vision-board-experience-tickets-1979195155990?aff=oddtdtcreator This Social Circuit gathering is a different kind of vision board experience - one that starts from the inside out. Instead of creating a traditional collage focused on goals and outcomes, we’ll explore the feeling of the life you’re becoming. Through art, mixed media, colour, texture, and conversation, you’ll be invited to embody your future self and express what becoming 2026 feels like, without pressure, planning, or perfection. This is a playful, embodied creative experience designed for connection. We’ll work in small groups, share stories, meet new people, and create a safe, open, and honest space to explore dreams, hopes, and even the quiet barriers that sometimes stand in the way of them. No artistic experience is needed. All art supplies are provided. Just bring an open mind, a brave heart, and a willingness to get a little messy. ✨ Think: art + conversation + connection ✨ No rigid goals, it's not an interview! ✨ Just messy dreams, honest expression, and becoming together 📍 Motto Motto Café - 300 Campbell Ave UNIT 101, Toronto, ON M6P 3V6 ☕ Drinks and food available for purchase at the café Come as you are. Leave a little more connected, to yourself and to others. Agenda: 6:00pm: Doors Open 6:00 - 6:30pm: Say hello to others and mingle 6:30 - 8:00pm: Conversation and creative experience 8:00 - 8:30pm: Let's make new friends, stay and chat! Accessibility: The venue is directly accessible from the sidewalk and is wheelchair accessible. If you have any accessibility needs or questions, please reach out to us in advance, we’re happy to support where we can. Parking: Paid parking available along Campbell Avenue. Community & Care This is an inclusive, welcoming event. We aim to create a space where people of all genders, sexual orientations, identities, and lived experiences feel respected, seen, and safe. This is not a workshop led by “experts.” We’re exploring, creating, and becoming together. This gathering includes small-group conversation and shared creative exploration. You’re always invited to participate at your own comfort level. You never have to share anything you don’t want to. Listening is just as valued as speaking. Our intention is to create a brave, kind, and supportive environment where curiosity, care, and mutual respect guide how we build community. We ask all attendees to be mindful of their own boundaries and to honor the boundaries of others. If the cost of this event is a barrier for your attendance, please contact us at socialcircuitca@gmail.com - we strive to make our events accessible and are happy to explore options together.

This first Pop-Up IELTS will tackle the essay question: ### Some citizens are in favour of maintaining and protecting beautiful buildings of the past, while others prefer modern structures. ### What is your position? Together we will analyze the question, determine its type, plot the structure (Cohesion & Coherence) , assemble the arguments (Task Response) and write the essay so that it fulfills the expectations for Lexical Resource (vocabulary) and Grammar scores. The class will close to late participants at 5:35.

### The Hip Haus presents: [Professionals Networking Event](https://thehiphaus.com "https://thehiphaus.com")! Hosted at Isabelle's ### **\*\* What is The Hip Haus? \*\***The Hip Haus is an organization that exists to empower young and experienced professionals alike in the GTA and help the growth of local business. As professionals (especially post pandemic world) it is sometimes difficult to network with other like minded individuals, get good career advice or simply make connections with others you may be able to help or get help from. The Hip Haus is committed to providing social gatherings in an atmosphere where such networking can take place. **\*\* Who Should Attend? \*\***The Hip Haus events are ***19+***. The focus however is the growth and development of professionals in the GTA. It doesn’t matter if you are a business owner, have a job, are looking for a job, recently graduated university/college, still in university/college, looking for others to launch a new idea or just want to meet other professionals, our events are for you. Remember that Industry is Industry. One is not better than the other to The Hip Haus. We are expecting a diverse range of industry professionals. Our events in clude professionals from Tech & AI to Entrepreneurs, Musicians, Artists, Bankers, I.T Professionals, Accountants, Investors, Advertising/Marketing Professionals, Bloggers, Authors, Lawyers, Doctors, Dentists (This List Can Clearly Go On). ALL ARE WELCOME! **\*\* What to Expect at Our Events? \*\***Bring Business cards or have your LinkedIn QR code at the ready. Networking! That is the key to these events. Sure it can be a great place to hang out and have a beer with a few friends but it is important to come with an open mind to meet new people and make new connections. Build your network of friends/colleagues/advisors to help yourself as well as them. The Hip Haus wants the professionals of the GTA to come together to help foster personal and professional development. **\*\* Dress Code! \*\***This is a tricky one. There is NO strict dress code but remember this; you are meeting professionals in an informal manner and we all know first impressions last forever. Come dressed in a way that would allow you to be comfortable and professional according to your industry. Consider This…would a professional musician/artist necessarily dress the same as an investment banker at work? Be who you are or who you want to be. #YoungProfessionalsNetworking #ProfessionalsNetworking #EntrepreneurNetworking #FounderEvents #FounderNetworking #AINetworkingToronto #TechNetworkingEvents #YoungProfessionalsAI #EntrepreneursAI #AIandTechToronto #NetworkingEventsGTA #IssabellsToronto **\*\* Let's Get Social!\*\*** WEB: [www.thehiphaus.com](http://www.thehiphaus.com/ "http://www.thehiphaus.com/") [INSTAGRAM](m/thehiphaus/ "m/thehiphaus/") \| [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/thehiphaus "https://www.facebook.com/thehiphaus") \| [TWITTER](https://twitter.com/thehiphaus "https://twitter.com/thehiphaus")
