Multi Language Meetup
# 🗣️ Language Exchange at Gare Maritime
**Practice languages over drinks in Brussels' coolest food court!**
Join fellow language enthusiasts for an evening of conversation, connection, and cocktails at the stunning Gare Maritime. Whether you're polishing your French, learning Dutch, or practicing any other language, come mingle in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
## 📍 The Venue
**Gare Maritime Food Court** \- Tour & Taxis
A breathtaking industrial space transformed into Brussels' hottest social hub. With its soaring ceilings, vibrant atmosphere, and multiple bars serving everything from craft cocktails to Belgian beers, it's the perfect setting for a language meetup.
## 🎯 What to Expect
Grab a drink and dive into natural conversations with people from all over the world. Chat in French with a Parisian, practice Dutch with a local, share travel stories in English, or switch between languages as the mood strikes. This is all about organic connections and real conversations - no pressure, no structure, just good vibes and great company.
**Everyone welcome:** complete beginners to fluent speakers, locals and expats, native speakers and eager learners.
## 👥 Who Comes to These Events?
Our community includes language students, professionals new to Brussels, polyglots, locals wanting to practice their English, expats improving their French or Dutch, and anyone curious about other cultures. The common thread? A love of languages and meeting interesting people.
## 🍹 Drinks & Atmosphere
Gare Maritime shines when it comes to drinks. Multiple bars offer creative cocktails, local craft beers, quality wines, and non-alcoholic options. The industrial-chic setting with communal seating makes it easy to strike up conversations and move between groups.
## 💡 First Time? No Worries!
Just show up and introduce yourself. People are friendly and everyone remembers being a beginner. The best way to learn is by speaking, and mistakes are just part of the journey. Bring your curiosity and willingness to try - that's all you need.

Conversazione in italiano @ Poppy's - Vicino parvis st gilles
Ciao a tutti!
Ci ritroviamo ogni venerdì dalle 18:00 per un bicchiere (si può anche mangiare) da Poppy's Bar, che si trova a 2 minuti di camminata da Parvis St Gilles. Un tavolo per 20 persone è riservato sotto il nome di Salvatore. Dunque, se non ci sono o se sarò in ritardo, potrete chiedere al barista. È un incontro informale, perché non è un evento strutturato, ma piuttosto un gruppo di persone che si riuniscono per parlare e praticare l'italiano.
Anche i nativi italiani sono benvenuti :) Tutto ciò che serve è un sorriso — e puoi anche portare un amico!

* Se cambiano le vostre circostanze e non potete più venire, annullate la vostra partecipazione per lasciare posto ad altri.
* Vi chiediamo di assicuravi di pagare i vostri consumi, per evitare che gli organizatori saranno rimasti a pagare per gli altri.
* Si prega di non parlare di politica cosi ci godiama la serata in tranquilita, di rispettare tutti i partecipanti e di non trattare l’incontro come un appuntamento romantici o intimo: l’obiettivo è semplicemente praticare e migliorare l’italiano in un ambiente piacevole e rilassato.

Coffee & Conversation
Let’s have our next meetup this coming Sunday at MIR Concept.
This meeting is meant to be relaxed, human, and focused on real conversations ,no pressure, no expectations, just people meeting people.
I created MIR as a space for genuine human connection, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a cozy and inspiring place designed for conversation, creativity, and positive impact.
I warmly invite you to join us and enjoy a great cup of coffee, tea, or matcha, along with delicious pastries. We’ll chat, laugh, share opinions, and see how different languages and cultures connect us.
I’m really looking forward to continuing this journey with you and meeting both familiar and new faces.
Art & Craft
Join us this Sunday for a relaxed and creative Art & Craft workshop, a space to slow down, create, and connect with others in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
This workshop is not about being “good at art” ,it’s about enjoying the process, expressing yourself, and sharing a moment of creativity together. You’ll be guided through a simple, beginner-friendly activity, so no previous experience is needed.
Enjoy your favorite drink, meet lovely people, and take a mindful pause from the week.
✨ All materials are included in the price (€5), and at the end of the workshop you’ll leave with something you’ve created yourself.
We look forward to creating together 🤍
Sunday Pool Evening + Language Exchange +Pizza
A relaxed pool night and language exchange for curious, open-minded people in Brussels. Pool, drinks, and real conversation without the fake networking vibe.
This is **not** a tournament and not a “watch one guy run the table” event. We rotate games, mix people, and keep it social.
Use our whatsapp Chat also to RSVP and updates!
https://chat.whatsapp.com/F2hTxZ4TT3hHICiihX1Efy
### **What to expect**
* Casual pool
* Rotations so everyone plays
* **Language exchange**: EN/FR/NL/ES/IT (and whatever else shows up)
Switch languages anytime, no pressure
### **Food**
The venue is right next to **Dea’s Pizza**. During the night, feel free to grab a takeaway pizza and **eat it at Taverne Magnolia**.
### **Cost**
* Everyone pays their own drinks and table time
* If we share tables, we split costs fairly (1 game 1 Euro)

We’ve had reports of creeps at other Brussels meetups bothering women. That does not happen at our events.
* The host will actively keep an eye on the vibe, especially **women’s comfort and safety**
* **No harassment, no sexual comments, no persistent flirting after a “no,” no invasive questions, no following people around**
* If someone feels unsafe or uncomfortable, go to the host directly. The host will intervene.
### **Meet point**
Meet inside near the pool tables at **Taverne Magnolia**. If you’re late, post in the event chat so rotations don’t start without you.

**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.*
*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*
*In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.*
**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**
NEW TIME-- 6 PM!! Deep Conversation-- Question Chosen in Session
Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you!
After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations.
Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy:
What is a genuine friend?
Is social media turning us into emotional zombies?
Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them?
Are we driven by sex?
Is loneliness a personal failure?
Is morality relative?
**Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.
