Description
Have you been looking for language events in your city, but to no avail? Are you tired of "language exchange" being the synonym of "let's all switch to English"? Would you like to have more multilingual practice and multicultural experience between successive Polyglot Gatherings and/or Conferences
If the answer is "yes," then you should take matters into your own hands and create something new! It may seem daunting at the beginning, but if you make the first step, good things will happen :)
During the talk we’ll discuss many ideas and good practices for creating a local language community. My experience is based on over a decade of visiting language meetings in different European cities and my personal involvement in many local multilingual and multicultural projects in Warsaw, including building the largest language exchange community in Warsaw, with 6-8 languages weekly and 20+ languages monthly.
Pablo Koperek is a passionate language enthusiast based in Warsaw.
Despite a strong background in IT, he managed to dedicate his life to natural languages and teaching, promoting multilingualism and multiculturalism. The life-changing moment for him was a year abroad in Spain, where he fell in love with Spanish and later with Catalan.
He's been a member of the Polyglot Community since the first Gathering in Berlin in 2014 and in the last decade he taught 12+ languages to hundreds of students, mostly online.
