Language Meetup: hobbies and leisure time

Wednesday, 5 November 2025 | 2pm | Unipark, 1st floor |  Erzabt-Klotz-Straße 1 | Salzburg

The first Language Meetup of the 2025/26 academic year will take place on 5 November 2025. Under the motto ‘Hobbies and Leisure’, all interested parties are cordially invited to exchange ideas about personal interests, leisure activities and cultural experiences in a relaxed atmosphere. The event offers space for linguistic diversity and intercultural encounters and invites participants to bring languages to life through shared conversation.

What is the Language Meetup?

The Language Meetup is a series of events organised by the University of Salzburg to give anyone interested in languages the opportunity to improve their language skills, discover new languages and meet interesting people. Our meetings are designed to give both beginners and advanced students the opportunity to develop their language skills. There are several language tables with an expert moderating the discussion. This means, for example, that Japanese is spoken at one table, moderated by an expert for Japanese, English at another table, French at another table, and so on. It is best to start with the language in which you have appropriate knowledge and exchange with other speakers at this table. This can be a language that you have learned, but it can also be your first language in which you want to share your experiences. Participants can help each other or switch between languages, i.e. use their entire linguistic repertoire.
