Problem
Where do I find others keen on learning languages, or bilingual?
Answers
1 Polyglot clubs on meetup
2 Toastmasters International
Now on June 3rd 2018, (postponed from Sunday May 27 because of low take up rate) in Singapore meetup tells me there's a meeting of Speakeasy Language Learning and culutral Exchange at B1-20/27 Food Republish, Capitol Piazza, 13 Stamford Road, Singapore, 3-6. pm. The nearest MRT (train station) is City Hall which is about 3 minutes away. Exit B.
See their Facebook page.
Toastmasters International has numerous blingual groups. You can get their manuals in several languages, so you can use the English and foreign language manuals alongside each other to translate what is going on.
For example:
Singapore
A Tamil bilingual group.
Francophone is all in French, but usually one of two people speak English and you can speak to them in French or English after the meeting or in the interval.
Several Mandarin speaking groups exist, if you are already fluent in Mandarin and want to keep up the language.
London, England has a French-English group, a Polish group and several others.
USA
The USA has a Spanish speaking group which has bilingual newsletters. I use the newsletters as a language aid, comparing the English and the Spanish.
Useful Websites
Duolingo.com Brush up on your languages for free online with Duolingo and their Tinycards.
