​We'll be playing board and card games at the La Vita House this Saturday. To keep with the language theme, native speakers will be leading Basta! in Spanish and teaching us beginning Farsi with a fun board game. We'll also have Clue in German, and whatever game or language you choose to bring! 

La Vita House is walking distance from the U of A (with free street parking on weekends and evenings), and the event will be outside. See you there!

Want to learn a new language but not sure what? Studying a language but have no one to talk to? Curious how to say _____ in a half dozen languages?

Come meet your language match this Friday at Language Speed Dating! When the event starts, you will sit across from another attendee and have 4 minutes to talk in or about the languages you speak or learn. When the time is up, you'll switch to a new random partner.

How you choose to divide your time is up to you, and the language possibilities are many. Perhaps one of you is learning Spanish and another is a Spanish speaker. Perhaps both of you are fanatics of Finnish. More likely, at least one will speak a language the other is mostly unfamiliar with, and you'll have a few minutes to learn the very basics, while sharing something you know in return.

After the Language Speed Dating, we'll have some time to connect with the people we've just met, follow up with more language practice, or just socialize with friends new and old.

See you on Friday!

Whether you speak a foreign language, are learning a new language, or just want to make friends from the US and around the world, meet us at the La Vita House for a fun, international evening.

So, what is the Language Swap? At its core, it is a place to practice languages in an informal and real way, talking with native speakers and other learners. More than that, it’s a place to make international connections, and we’d love to have you whether you are a fluent speaker or a day 0 beginner.

There will be tables for various languages. Which ones changes every event, but I expect to see at least Spanish, French, English, and Arabic. Want to learn Italian? Farsi? Russian? Mandarin? Czech? This is also your place. 
Please let us know if you are interested in a specific language, so we can extend a special invite to native speakers.

The event will be held at the La Vita House, just minutes from campus at Speedway and 2nd Ave.
It’s a short walk for students living on campus, and free parking is available for those who drive.

Hope you can join us and learn something new! In the spirit of this event... Une seule langue n'est jamais suffisant. Одного языка никогда недостаточно. Ane leid is nivver eneuch. 一種語言永遠不夠. Bir dil asla yeterli değildir. .ایک زبان کبہی بھی کافی نہیں ہوتی Un lingua es nunquam bastante. 언어 하나론 부족해. Una sola lingua non è mai abbastanza. One language is never enough. :)]]>
