Where to discuss and learn languages



DUOLINGO
Try the forums in Duolingo for the languages you like. When you see discussion on a word, have a look. The discussion often moves away from the translation of the word or phrase to other language issues and where to learn or watch videos or join classes.

FACEBOOK POLYGLOTS You can also pose questions and join discussion about laguage on the facebook Polyglots page.

The polyglot page on Facebook has onging questions on phrases. Ask your own question. You can also apir up with qpeakers.



BUSUU Busuu pairs you with native speaker or other learners.

MEETUP Meetup has groups of language speakers which you can join. You can start your own if you are prepared to find the meetup fee for the organizers.

ESPERANTO
Esperanto speakers meet in Reading, England.

Toastmasters groups have language groups, eg a French group in London has half the meeting in French and the other half in English. Singapore has an all French speaking speaker's club and you can read the programme of the meeting and find out words, such as invitee for guest.

; several more for speakers of Mandarin I learned only ni how is you good or hello, and how is good, or fine thanks. Other groups are Malay and Tamil. toastmasters also publishes manuals in several languages including Japnese and Arabic, so you can red pick up the vocabuly which you keep hearing repeated.

Other groups are in Canada (French or French and English); Switzerland (trilingual, French, Italian and German). In the USA you will find Spanish seaking groups and their websites are bilingual.

I am hoping to start a polyglot Toastmasters group. Poly means many. This could attract:
People planning to organize a wedding or reception involving two languages.
Translators.
Speakers at conferences and all meetings.
