FAQ

What is a language exchange?

The process is very simple. At the mayority of the exchanges, you will receive a stickers on whic you write down your name, your nativ language and the language (s) you would like to speak. You can search for people whose native languages corresponds to the languages you would like to practise. You can always ask our crew for help if you have difficulty finding another suitable participant. Durinf the few events that we do not work with stickers, our crew assigns the tables so everybody can join a suitable group of participants. A few minutes later the event turns into a multilingual social gathering where you can meet international friends.

The exchange on Friday is a bit different.In umbracle at the entry you will receive a flag of your country /native tongue and you will search for a particpant who speaks the language you would like to practise. That way the diversity of our participants is shown through the flags.

What is the cost of the events?

Most of the events are free of cost except from our events on Fridays because we organise specials events, such as painting and ceramic classes. Those events requiere some costs for the materials provided by VLE.
