We are trying to evolve the concept of Language Exchange, so we teamed up with the ESN Coimbra to improve the event and take it to the next level!
On arrival, you will be tagged with all the languages you can speak on and, also, those you want to learn. Sequently, you will be assigned a table, opposite to another speaker who has two common languages with you. You will speak one language of your choice for 5 minutes and then change to a different one. After the 10 minutes, one of you will move to the next table and start over.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to improve your language skills in an easy-going manner. Also, it is great for networking and getting to know new people who share this language-sharing passion with you.
We start signing people in at 5:00pm. Hopefully, everyone will be seated by 5:30pm and we will finish at 7.30pm. When we reach half of our time, we will give you a quick break for you to relax and warm up a little bit. :)
Please be on time!
It is a mess if you are not on time, as we will have the tables arranged already. ;)
SUPER QUICK FAQ:
1 - Is it speed dating?
No. We use the speed dating system for the language exchanges, which means it is a one-to-one conversation. Nevertheless, its purpose is for you to put your language skills to practice.
2 - Is it FREE?
YES!
There is a registration form we will ask you to fill. Its purpose is just to have an idea of the languages you speak and the number of people we will have on the event.

3 - My level is not good, can I still participate?
Yes! The person opposite you is usually in the same situation as you. People come to help each other! So whether you are an absolute beginner or fluent in the language you are learning, you can participate.
4 - What do I need to talk about?
Whatever you want!
It is a very easy-going environment. We also will put some conversation topics on the tables to help you out.
