New to Melbourne Language Exchange

  • Free
  • Activity

Every week, over 200 people from 23+ countries meet at New to Melbourne language exchange to practise a language and make new friends, perhaps over a drink.

The first thing you will notice is the great community atmosphere; people are friendly and helpful and always welcoming of new members. Plus there's food available to purchase if you'd like a meal.

When you arrive, you receive a badge with your native language and the languages you would like to learn. Look for the flags desk on entry to the venue.
