How it works

A social language exchange, not a classroom

Linguas is a casual language exchange event where people meet in person, have conversations, practise languages and make new friends. You do not need to be fluent, and you do not need to prepare anything before arriving.

When you arrive, you can use flag stickers to show the languages you speak and the languages you want to practise. This makes it easier for people to start conversations naturally.

The event is designed to be easy to join alone. Many attendees are new to Melbourne, studying in Australia, travelling, working, or simply looking for a more interesting way to meet people.
