Speed Language Exchange Berlin 🗣️

Das Prinzip ist simpel. In kurzen Runden von etwa drei Minuten wechselst du deine Gesprächspartner, um verschiedene Sprachen in der Praxis zu testen. Die Struktur folgt einem festen System. Eine Runde findet in deiner Zielsprache statt, die nächste in deiner Muttersprache, damit beide Seiten profitieren. Bei Bedarf helfen bereitliegende Karten dabei, das Gespräch in Gang zu halten. Nach den Speed-Runden bleibt Zeit für offenes Miteinander. So kannst du vertiefen, was sich während der kurzen Einheiten als passend erwiesen hat.

It's speed dating, reimagined for language lovers. ✨ You'll leave having talked to more people than a typical exchange night usually allows. How it works (may adjust on the night depending on turnout): * 🕒 \~3 minutes per round — a bell/timer signals when to switch * 🔄 Partners rotate through the evening (likely an "inner circle / outer circle" setup — one side stays, one side moves) * 🌍 Language whole-round, alternating: one full round in your partner's language, then a switch to yours on the next round — practically, one round you're helping your partner practice, the next it's your turn. Exact rhythm may flex depending on group size and which languages show up * 📋 Prompt cards on hand for each round as a backup if conversation needs a nudge * 🎯 All levels and languages welcome — sign-in sheet helps us pair people up thoughtfully based on who's speaking what Rough structure of the evening (subject to change based on turnout): 1. Arrival & icebreaker (\~15 min) – grab a drink, quick intro, note your language(s) on the sign-in sheet 2. Speed rounds (\~45–60 min) – a number of rotations, timing adjusted live depending on group size 3. Open mingling (remaining time) – stick around and keep chatting with whoever you clicked with Who should come: * Anyone learning a language and wanting real conversation practice * Native or fluent speakers open to practicing another language in exchange * Speakers of any language looking for a reciprocal practice partner Good to know: * This first Speed Language Exchange is free as a thank-you for trying it out with us — from the next session on, there'll be a small fee to help sustain the format * Group size will shape exactly how rotations work; smaller turnout may mean fewer, longer rounds instead of many short ones * Come with a bit of patience for the first-run kinks — the goal is genuine practice, not a perfectly oiled machine
