Search for your interests or age based conversation groups, join them ASAP to converse in groups & Circles at 24hrs weekend events...

Please go through our list of groups we created, take a note of those you like, go to our "Groups" page, use the search bar to find them and join them asap, as in the future only groups with members will have their circle at our 24hrs virtual events, to maximize the buzz and minimize the empty circles.

Whenever others will join groups, they'll see that other members have similar interests and may join your group(s) too, but please do not join only the busy groups but all interests you like so all groups can have a chance to grow. Once you've joined one group and took our mini membership that should cover all our costs, you can then join any other group. Only hard working language teachers, employers or service providers may have their own patreon groups offering a service in exchange for your donations.

We created conversation age groups, as in everyday's Life, people's interests are very different depending on their age. So for trying to help rather that discriminate we created them. In case some of you may get confused with age discrimination affecting those looking for work, those groups aren't about Jobs but about everything else from Culture, Music, worries, Film, news, parties, etc... Job groups are obviously for everyone without any discrimination.

 All groups can be joined by the natives of that language and those hoping to exchange languages unless mentioned as "FR only" or "ENG only" for practical reasons. You will soon be able to click on more and more of those interest groups to go there directly. We highlighted some words that you could use in your search, on our group page.
