How it works
- Pick your city. We list free conversation groups run by libraries and public programmes, plus upcoming language-café events from Come Alone.
- Check the language, level note and time on the official page. Most groups are drop-in; some ask you to register once.
- Arrive five minutes early and tell the host your level in one sentence. Groups are built for exactly that moment.
- Want to keep meeting people after? Meet & Mint shows events and people near you — join one alone, meet the group.
Coming alone — what to expect
- Language cafés are the easiest room to enter alone: everyone is there to talk to people they do not know, and the host seats you.
- Mixed levels are normal. Say your level once; nobody corrects you unless you ask.
- You do not need to be a learner: native speakers are the scarce resource and hosts love them.
