Russian Language Exchange

Hello ! and welcome to our international family in Vienna! [[Click this Whatsapp Groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IHjiqrhVEYDEyGaB7uQfzu)] This isn’t just a language exchange — it’s a lively gathering of globally minded souls in their 20s and 30s who love new experiences. We meet every Saturday at 7:30 PM in the heart of the city. Whether you’re a backpacker passing through or a Viennese local curious about the world, you'll find open minds and open hearts here. Come practice new languages, share your culture, and make authentic connections.

**The Mezze Table – A Cultural Dinner with Meaningful Conversations** **Some of the best conversations in life happen around a table.** **The Mezze Table is a structured social event where we come together to share food and real conversations.** **The evening is gently guided with a few thoughtful conversation prompts that help people connect more naturally.** **Only 10 seats are available.** **At the center of the table we share traditional Lebanese mezze such as Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, and Tabbouleh.** **The word mezze itself comes from the Mediterranean and refers to a collection of small dishes served together. But the idea behind the Mezze Table goes a bit further.** **Just like a mezze table brings together different flavors, this evening brings together a mix of cultures, languages, experiences, and ideas.** **Meals in the Middle East are rarely eaten alone. Food is shared, stories are exchanged, and conversations often go deeper than the usual “What do you do for work?”** **To make the evening welcoming for everyone, we start with a few simple introductions and then explore a couple of conversation prompts during the dinner.** **Past prompts have included questions like:** **• What place in the world has changed how you see life?** **• What is a tradition from your culture that people should know about?** **• What are some gestures in your culture people often misunderstand?** **What to expect** **• Shared Lebanese mezze** **• A small international group (max. 10 guests)** **• Conversations in English** **• A relaxed evening with thoughtful dialogue and cultural exchange** **Hosted by Lydia** **I work in leadership and resilience training and spend much of my professional life helping people have better conversations.** **Over time I noticed something simple: the most interesting conversations rarely happen in meeting rooms.** **They happen around tables.** **The Mezze Table is a small experiment in bringing people together through food, culture, and curiosity.** **Contribution** **€15 includes the mezze.**

Hi Running fellows, Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us! Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast. Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too. What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :) We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast! Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45. We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier. Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup. Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz

**Note:** Kindly bring cash for any food/drinks purchases under 20 Eur, as the restaurant/cafe accepts card payments only for purchases above 20 Eur. This is a **free** event. Are you ready to practise your language skills?

A grounded, embodied approach to Tango Argentino for beginners building foundations and improvers seeking clarity, depth, and freedom. **Every Sunday (except during our Tango Immersion Weekends), we explore the essentials of Tango Argentino from a mindful, embodied approach. Focusing not only on what to do, but on how and why we move the way we do in this dance.** ✨ No previous experience required, just curiosity to work with essential principles that allow you to understand the Tango Argentino language sooner, and adapt easier to real social dance situations. ✨ Experienced dancers refine technique and efficiency of their movements. ✨ **You can come with or without a dance partner**, and learn the role(s) of your choice (Jessica encourages to learn both). ✨ **Each class is followed by our Focused Práctica**, a guided practice gathering for all levels, where you can take time to socialize and integrate what you learned, ask questions, receive feedback, and practice in a relaxed and supportive environment. ### **Dates & Time** **Sundays** (except during the Tango Immersion intensive weekends \* check [agenda](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/#agenda) for specific dates) **19:00–20:00** Tango Basics Class **20:00–22:00** Practice Gathering with feedback ### **📍 Location** EWTO Akademie – **Haydngasse 1, 1060 Wien** ### **Registration** Drop-in possible. Registration at jessicagerdel.com is recommended. €20 per person per class €15 per person per Guided Practice session **€85 pack of 4 classes in a row + Guided Practice sessions after each class** (e.g. if you start on March 22nd, it includes the classes of March 22 and 29 + April 5 and 12) Young students and people with limited income can request a 20-30% partial scholarship via email or in person. PS. This course doesn't include classes on April 19th, May 17th, June 21st and July 19th because of Jessica's [Tango Immersion](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion) Weekends. She'll guide you on which workshops are suitable for beginners if you want to join us those weekends too. **Teaching approach** Spoiler alert: This is not about copying and memorizing steps. Jessica's teaching focus is on body awareness, connection, and developing good habits from the start — so what you learn works in real social dance situations and truly supports your dance in the long term. **Check out more about her work at [jessicagerdel.com](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/) and on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/tangoimmersion/)/[Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/abrazatango): Abrazatango.** Looking forward to seeing you there!

Du sprichst schon gut Deutsch (B2–C1), hast aber wenig Gelegenheit, wirklich zu reden? Dann bist du hier genau richtig! Wir treffen uns in kleinen Gruppen in gemütlichen Wiener Cafés und plaudern ganz entspannt über alles Mögliche, was uns gerade beschäftigt, oder ein vorher vereinbartes Thema. Ziel: mehr sprechen, nette Leute kennenlernen und einfach eine gute Zeit haben. Auch Muttersprachler:innen sind herzlich willkommen, wenn sie Lust haben, neue Leute kennenzulernen und sich auszutauschen. Die kleine Gruppengröße ist eine bewusste Entscheidung: so können wir uns gut hören, leichter ins Gespräch kommen und die Treffen bleiben übersichtlich und angenehm zu organisieren. 👉 **Ein paar Infos, damit alles gut läuft:** – Bitte verwende deinen echten Vornamen und ein Profilfoto, damit wir uns beim Treffen leichter finden. – Melde dich nur an, wenn du wirklich kommen kannst. – Falls doch etwas dazwischenkommt, ist das kein Problem, aber bitte sag rechtzeitig ab, damit jemand anderes nachrücken kann. – Die **genaue Location** wird am Vorabend des Treffens an die bestätigten Teilnehmer:innen kommuniziert und in den Kommentaren sichtbar sein. – Wer ohne Absage nicht erscheint, wird leider aus der Gruppe entfernt. Wir möchten die Treffen zuverlässig und angenehm für alle halten. Freue mich auf entspannte Gespräche und eine nette, motivierte Runde! 😊

It's not required to attend my classes to join, the Focused Prácticas are open to all backgrounds. **Here you can expect:** A welcoming, respectful atmosphere Space to focus without pressure Supportive presence if questions arise Freedom to choose what you want to work on Socializing and exchanging feedback with others is welcome; consent and respecting each person’s process is the base.

Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Hey Everyone! Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome! If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten. Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."

Bienvenue! Columbus French Conversation group invites you to our Saturday morning French conversation club. Expect a casual and welcoming atmosphere in which to learn french! I will bring my laptop so we can look up new vocabulary as needed! The venue is a beautiful French restaurant so you can really get into the zone :)

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink. We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat! Note: Since the weather is unpredictable in April, we have a couple of places in mind for the Pot Luck. We have reserved a room in the Dublin Library from 1-2:30 PM for the meal, if necessary. \* But if the weather is nice on April 12th, we are planning to meet in Bridge Park, possibly in the covered shelter area at 12:00 Noon. We will update the details closer to the date of the Pot Luck but wanted to get this out to everyone so that you can make plans for that day.

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.
