SpeakIt Language Exchange: Meet friends, practice, and share a language!
About the event
SpeakIt is a group where the goal is to practice and learn languages naturally: By talking and meeting new people! 🥳 this, of course, includes English learners 😍. [Traducción](https://www-meetup-com.translate.goog/speakit-nyc/events/299532447/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true)
We hope to have all the cultures that New York City represents, so we welcome any language and all language levels. Here's how it works:
1. 👨🎓You spend part of your time practicing a language you are learning; 2. 🧑🏻🏫You spend the other part of your time speaking in your native language, helping others! *(even if you only speak one language, that's fine)*
When you arrive at the venue, we will have flag stickers 🇺🇳 representing any country of your choosing. Put your most fluent language on top and any language(s) you are learning or already know below. Then find someone else wearing a flag and say hi in your preferred language 👋🏼.
FAQ's
• 💰Event is $2 (suggested, cash or Venmo) to help cover the cost for the flags and the meetup subscription. • 🍻Please support the venue that hosts us by ordering something from the bar. 😎 • *Will there be speakers of (my language) here?* That depends! We don't organize who comes to the event, so we can't be 100% sure your language will be there. You may want to invite a practice buddy, or message us in advance and we can try to find you one. Otherwise come say Hi and find out! • Can I show up late? Show up any time during the event. • Coming alone? Welcome! Just bring a friendly face and some words. • Or feel free to bring along some friends, too.
When and Where:
• [Heart of Gold Bar](https://goo.gl/maps/csmu6MycKxirFvYv9), Astoria • Get off at Broadway on the N/W train or Steinway M/R. • Look for the flag table out back and say hi!
