Language exchanges in Quito
Weekly language exchange meetups with a strong international crowd.
The language exchange scene in Quito
Quito has an active language exchange scene centered on a large, international Meetup group called Meet and Speak Quito Language Exchange Ecuador. The group advertises weekly Tuesday meetups where people from many different countries gather to practice multiple languages in a friendly, welcoming setting. Event listings for these meetups also appear in Meetup search results and on Facebook.
Meetups commonly take place in social venues such as bars and similar public spaces (a Facebook event lists Viva Cerveza / Gastropub La Carolina), and are organized through Meetup and Facebook platforms. The scene is characterized by regular weekly gatherings and a strong international crowd rather than being tied to a single institution.
“Main organizing platforms are Meetup and Facebook.”
