The Language Lounge
Are you new to Queenstown and eager to meet new people while practicing different languages? Or perhaps you're a longtime local who loves sharing your language skills and learning about other cultures?
The Kiwi Kit Community Trust is excited to present the Language Lounge, a dynamic and interactive language exchange event designed to bring people together through the love of languages.
What is the Language Lounge?
The Language Lounge is an inclusive and welcoming event where participants can practice various languages in a social and relaxed setting.
Inspired by successful language exchange events like Mundo Lingo, the Language Lounge aims to create a vibrant multicultural community in Queenstown.
Whether you're just starting to learn a new language or you're a fluent speaker, this event offers something for everyone!
How Does It Work?
Upon arrival at the Language Lounge, you'll receive a name tag where you can list the languages you speak. This helps others identify and connect with you based on the languages they are interested in practicing.
​
Grab yourself a drink or just go for a wander, keeping an eye out for the language you'd like to speak. Everyone is there to talk, so there's no reason to be shy! Just pick someone and start chatting.
The event is structured to encourage mingling and conversation, with various interactive language games and activities to keep the evening lively and engaging.
