Language Exchange Events In Montreal

Who wouldn’t want to meet new people and have fun while trying to learn a new language? I would, that's for sure. Lucky for you that such a fun and culturally rich city such as Montreal has so many options for you!

Platforms That Are For Language Events

Mundolingo

Mundolingo hosts language socials in multiple cities around the world. The events usually take place at well picked restaurants and bars for people to match with languages they are trying to learn.

Good thing that Montreal has some of the BEST places to go out to. Mundolingo’s website says “hangout, make friends, and practice languages for free”. Sweet deal.

How it works is that you go onto their website and go to ‘cities’ at the top right corner, then choose Montreal. You will get a display of different socials being held at different locations around the city.

Once you create an account and RSVP you just need to show up and be ready to have fun!

The socials have a system, where you get flag stickers at the beginning of the night to represent the language(s) that you speak and are learning. You place your native language on top and then place your other flags going down based upon your skill level. This way you can find people to talk with without the coordination of the host. Doesn’t this sound cool!
