Happy New Year! Bonne année! Feliz año nuevo! あけましておめでとう Ready to immerse yourself in a world of words and cultures? The first VLE meetup of 2025 is just around the corner, and we're excited to see both new and familiar faces. Bring your linguistic passion and join our vibrant community. The Victoria Language Exchange is an in-person international language exchange group in Victoria, BC, Canada. Members of the group meet twice a month to practice the languages they are learning, brush up on their native language skills, and make friends from around the world. Instead of (or in addition to) studying grammar from a textbook, come and enjoy real-world conversations with other people either fluent in or learning the same language as you. Any and all languages are welcome! This is a 19+ event, please bring photo ID and a $2-5 entry fee*. The event starts at 7pm and ends at 10pm, feel free to arrive and leave whenever you like. We are being hosted by the lovely Swans Brewpub in downtown Victoria, where drinks and food are available to order. *We request a $2-5 cash donation at the time of entry to help us cover expenses like Meetup subscription costs and nametag printing. You won't be turned away if you forget to bring cash, but please try to remember. 🙂
