FAQ (All Questions)

How does it work?

Take sticker flags. Put your native language on top. Add other languages under it (best to weakest). Join any conversation and say “Hi.” The flags make talking easy. Click here for more info.

I’m shy. Can I come alone?

Yes. Many guests arrive solo, that’s totally normal. Say hello to a host at the door… we will help you start. Don’t worry, you will meet people fast!

Is this event for me?

Yes. Come if you want new friends, real conversations, and an easy way to practice languages.

How much does it cost?

Participation is voluntary. A €6 ticket includes one drink and your language stickers—most guests choose this to support the event.

Is this a dating event?

No. This is primarily for language exchange and community‑building. Be kind, respectful, and open‑minded. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, please speak to a host. Read our Code of Conduct here.

I only speak one language. Can I join?

Yes—and you’re encouraged to! Beginners are welcome. You can listen, learn, and gradually join in the conversation. Others will help you along the way.
