Learning a new language? Practice your chat at this easygoing pub meet-up

By Yay Cork April 10, 2022April 7, 2022

Use it or lose it.

When it comes to learning a new language or remembering one you’ve learned in the past, practice is key.

If you’re weary of chatting away to yourself en français to the mirror, now there’s a fun way to fit in some useful conversation and learning alongside some networking and a pint, if you fancy it.

Language Exchange Cork is bringing back its weekly in-person event every Thursday at 7pm in An Spailpín Fánach on South Main Street.

The idea is to create a space where anyone can practice the language they are learning with native speakers in a fun, educational and social atmosphere.

Here’s how it works: You sit opposite a native speaker of the language you’re learning, then you speak five minutes of English and five minutes if the other language, then change tables.

All levels are catered for from beginner to fluent and there are Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian exchanges as well as an English-only table.

Admission is €5 (€4 for students) and you can find out more on meetup.com.
