The Italian Lounge

About the Lounge

The Italian Lounge is a recurring, in-person community meetup designed to help you practise Italian in a relaxed, supportive environment.

There’s no grammar teaching and no pressure to perform. Instead, you’ll find a warm welcome, light conversation prompts, and gentle facilitation to help conversations flow naturally. You’re free to speak as much or as little Italian as you like — listening and soaking up the atmosphere is just as welcome.

Italian and English are both welcome, with Italian encouraged.

This is a space to use Italian socially, build confidence, and connect with others who love the language and culture.
