Meet People: Speakeasy Events in Monaco



It's a mix of language course experience and meeting new people in a relaxed atmosphere! Natasha Frost , founder of this series of events explains: "Speakeasy is the first social event of it's kind in Monaco, where people can get get together to put their language skills to practice by talking to a native speaker.  Meet new people and put your language skills to use in a unique and informal setting overlooking the port of Monaco, while enjoying a drink. After hearing many comments from friends that despite attending language classes to learn French there are very few means to actually practice your conversational skills, we are proud to present Speakeasy Monaco, the Principality’s 1st language exchange network event. Speakeasy Monaco uses the same concept as speed dating to pair you with a native French speaker, eager to practice conversational English. While there is no dating, you will share a conversation with your French counterpart, first in English. After a 10 mn period, the roles reverse and the conversation switches to French."

How it works: Upon arrival to the event's location, the Speakeasy team will pair you with a person with whom you will entertain a 10 mn conversation, in English. Ten minutes english conversation followed by ten minutes French conversation, then change partner! 
Kind of the same manner speed-dating works, only that's it all about 'talking' here :)
Language aids (dictionary, pens and paper and conversation topics) are at hand to make the experience as easy, fun and educational as possible.

Practice your language skills in new and fun way and meet people you would never get to know otherwise!
Where: every Tuesday, on the Star Deck of STARSNBARS, from 7pm to 8:30 pm (Arrive 30 mn early for regisration)
Price: 18 euros, including complimentary beverage and a donation to Pink Ribbon Monaco
