Language Exchange - Macau is a local and international community of language learners of all levels that come together to improve their language skills and make great friends.
In this community, people from different cultures and linguistic backgrounds will have the opportunity to sharpen their language skills, while helping others to do the same. Currently we do weekly language exchanges with English, Cantonese and Mandarin and select special events in other languages. Its lots of fun and it's free!
Language Exchange usually starts with a fun ice breaker that gets people talking, then moves to a quick vocabulary lesson. After this, the bulk of the time is spent on actual conversation with each other. At the end of the exchange you will be a better speaker and have a bunch of new friends!
We have fun games and activities that utilize our knowledge of English or Cantonese to learn new grammar points and practice our conversation skills through various weekly topics that are applicable to use in your everyday speaking life.
Try “Speed Swap” - Use the grammar points learnt in class to practice in one on one conversations with a wide variety of people! <br>This is a chance to have quick conversations with people, without feeling the pressure to hold a conversation!
Try “Group Chat” - Make friends both international and Chinese as you practice points learnt in class in group discussions! <br>This is a relaxed way to chat openly in the language of your choice and lean new things about your friends!
