We have casual reunions with informal conversations. Intellectual conversations are not necessary if you don't want to etc. There is not an exact schedule to arrive etc …

A Matryoshka doll or a nested/nesting doll is a Russian doll or toy which features a set of dolls in decreasing sizes nested within one another. I chose this name for the group because I believe everyone is complex and has many layers to their personality and discussion can be a tool to explore the many facets that exist in others, thus creating true intimacy and camaraderie. I feel that is missing today. The Nested Doll is a group for those who really enjoy great conversation and deep and ho …

… This is my vision: natives and advanced learners just have a casual, relaxed conversation in Arabic on any subject. Of course, the beginners like myself will not understand a word at first – but that’s OK. That’s the way we learn, by allowing our subconscious to absorb the language. Whether you are a native speaker, a complete beginner, or somewhere in between, you are welcome to this group.

Meet local Spanish language and culture lovers for conversation and fun! Come to a Spanish Language Meetup and make new amigos as you practice speaking, discover new phrases, and finally figure out verb conjugations! All ages and levels welcome.
