Practice ANY language in a no pressure, casual environment while benefiting a great cause!

HOW IT WORKS:

– Come anytime between 6-11pm and make a $10 donation to Rose Charities

– We’ll provide you with flag stickers to stick on: one for your home country/language and one for each of the other languages you’d like to practice

– Take advantage of drink specials all night: $4 draft beer, $5 wine, $6 cocktails

– Begin informal conversation in whatever language you’d like!

We’ll have facilitators making introductions but there’s no set structure, just a bar full of great people simultaneously speaking dozens of different languages. Great opportunity to meet language partners and mingle with an international crowd. Open to all nationalities and language levels.

The projects you’ll be supporting in Vietnam and Cambodia will benefit tremendously from your donation

All and every congratulation to Will and Henry Midgley (NZ) and Lee Schab (Vancouver, Canada) for the epic journey to Mongolia in their little 1000cc second-hand Suzuki car. 12 countries and thousands of kilometers many over the most difficult roads. The photos below give a pictorial account of the trip. The team made Rose Charities one of their two sponsored organizations. The whole Rose network is hugely grateful. To date almost 1000 pounds have been raised for Rose international projects. To donate (click)
