Hi All! We are a group of friends, most of us having met on italki, who recently set up a language club on WhatsApp where people representing different cultures, having different mother tongues can come together, practising a variety of languages. We have members from different parts of the world, but the group is currently learning and teaching English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean.
When setting up the club, I wanted to create a place where everyone can practise their target language, while getting to know each other's cultures at the same time. The group has developed into a wondeful community, where members can help each other learn a variety of languages, become familiar with different cultures, while becoming friends in the process.
We always welcome new members who would like to learn one or more languages. Please be advised that our group is very active most of the time, so if you don't sign in for a day, you are likely to be received by several hundred messages. Also, our group consists of several crazy people, who will keep you chatting even if you wanted to do something else and make time pass without people noticing. If you are fine with this and are willing to join in the fun, you will definitely fit into our community.
The club started with a general chat forum, but it became evident soon that some of the members had a great time talking to each other, so creating smaller groups with less members seemed necessary. We have groups for every language family, for people learning those languages or being a native speaker of them. These groups make it possible to talk in a family atmosphere and form friendships in the process.
We ask that new members first take part in the general chat forum, so that we can get to know you better. If you keep being an active member, take language learning seriously and are comfortable being surrounded by crazy people, you can be added to the smaller groups if the members agree. There you can practise your target languages, help other members learn your language and talk about a wide range of topics.
If you would like to join us, please send me a message with your WhatsApp number. We hope to welcome you among our members soon.
