Liverpool International Friends

Coffee + book chat, anyone? 📚
We are hosting another BYOB event, Bring Your Own Book 📖✨.
We’ll each bring a book we’re reading (or just love), take turns sharing a bit about it 💬, and get to know each other 👋. Doesn’t matter if it’s Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie 🕵️‍♀️🚂, The Shining by Stephen King 👻🏨, or something else entirely (all genres welcome 🌍). Even a soft copy on your phone works📱no need to carry a heavy book if you don’t want to.
I’ve started reading Never Lie by Frieda McFadden, will probably bring that on the day.
We’ll be meeting at The Brink Café in town. As the country’s first and only 'dry bar', the venue serves as both a community café and a recovery hub, offering substance use support services to those in recovery.

While the café does serve hot food, this service is unavailable on weekends. However, cakes, crisps, and biscuits will be available on the day. The average spend is ~£3 per person.
• Date: 15th November, Saturday
• Time: 11 AM - 1 PM
• Venue: The Brink Cafe
• Location: 15-21 Parr St, L1 4JN.
I’ve booked us a table, come along if you fancy a cosy morning with books and good company 😊.

Cheers,
Shaf.

An evening for those interested in practising their French, and for French speakers to improve their English. Joins us, grab a beverage of some sort, have a seat and get stuck into the conversation. Or just listen to other people's oratorical endeavours. It is all informal, there is no set topic, or any particular language level required. See you all there!

This is a fortnightly pub evening on Tuesdays in Central Liverpool for German speakers, which will include native speakers and learners wishing to practice their German. All levels are welcome though it may not be suitable for beginners, since the conversation will be mainly in German. We meet in the Denbigh Castle pub, conveniently located just off Dale St, round the corner from Rigby's and next to Ye Hole in the Wall pub. Address: 10 Hackins Hey, Liverpool L2 2AW.

We meet from 7.30pm but obviously some people will arrive later than that. Again people will leave at different times. It tends to break up around 10-10.30pm. We look forward to welcoming all those members of this Meetup group who wish to speak German in a friendly social setting.
