SpeakIt Language Exchange: Meet friends, practice, and share a language!
Thu, Oct 8, 10:30 PMSpeakIt is a group where the goal is to **practice and learn languages** naturally: By talking and meeting new people! 🥳 this, of course, includes English learners 😍. [Traducción](https://www-meetup-com.translate.goog/speakit-nyc/events/299532447/?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true) We hope to have all the cultures that New York City represents, so we welcome **any language and all language levels**. Here's how it works: 1. 👨🎓You spend part of your time practicing a language you are learning; 2. 🧑🏻🏫You spend the other part of your time speaking in your native language, helping others! *(even if you only speak one language, that's fine)* When you arrive at the venue, we will have flag stickers 🇺🇳 representing any country of your choosing. Put your most fluent language on top and any language(s) you are learning or already know below. Then find someone else wearing a flag and say hi in your preferred language 👋🏼. **FAQ's** * 💰**Event is $2 (suggested, cash or Venmo)** to help cover the cost for the flags and the meetup subscription. * 🍻Please support the venue that hosts us by ordering something from the bar. 😎 * ***Will there be speakers of (my language) here?*** That depends! We don't organize who comes to the event, so we can't be 100% sure your language will be there. You may want to invite a practice buddy, or message us in advance and we can try to find you one. Otherwise come say Hi and find out! * **Can I show up late?** Show up any time during the event. * Coming alone? Welcome! Just bring a friendly face and some words. * Or feel free to bring along some friends, too. **When and Where:** * [Heart of Gold Bar](https://goo.gl/maps/csmu6MycKxirFvYv9), Astoria * Get off at Broadway on the N/W train or Steinway M/R. * Look for the flag table out back and say hi!
German food at Zum Stammtisch! 🇩🇪🥨
Sun, Oct 18, 9:15 PMOn Sunday, October 18th, let's have some delicious German bites and brews at Zum Stammtisch! 🇩🇪🥨 5:15 to 7:30pm Google maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YwFBg3R3a1GV92xB8 The Infatuation review: [https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/reviews/zum-stammtisch](https://www.theinfatuation.com/new-york/reviews/zum-stammtisch) How billing works: Usually for our larger parties, the restaurant only allows one person to pay (it would be ideal to have individual checks but unfortunately it’s usually not an option). Normally the host pays and each attendee pays the host back right away via venmo, zelle, paypal, or with cash. The amount owed is 1.3 times the subtotal (for entrees, appetizers, drinks, etc). So if the subtotal was $30, the total amount owed would be $30 \* 1.3 = $39 which covers tax and 20% tip. If there is a credit card fee charged, then the multiple would be a little higher (like 1.34 to 1.36). The host does not make any money off of this. Of course, please reach out if you have any questions! The not so fun rule on RSVPs Please only RSVP if you think you can make it and adjust your RSVP asap if anything changes (as there are other people who would like your spot). Two no shows or cancellations within 6 hours results in a 4 month ban. I will send a reminder 24 hours in advance to the group Thanks and can't wait to see you!
