About
us (me)
Hi
Everyone!
1)
What does it offer?
The
Language Circle in Liverpool is an international exchange of French, English, Spanish, Italian,
Chinese and Japanese... Who meet in different venues across Liverpool city
centre.
At the
moment, it's a
big event once month.
Update : Leaf Tea Shop gave us 2 dates per month Youuupiii !!!

Who are
welcome? Everyone! Who are willing to
meet new and interesting people who want to learn a variety of languages and
cultures in a friendly and relaxing environment.
2) How long has the language circle been running?
The language circle is a new initiative that I created at the end of January 2012. It was an old idea that I had but I just never got round in to doing it until now!!!
3)
Do you receive any funding for the language circle?
NO! I
have not received or in receipt of any founding at all.
At the
moment, we have a donation box which we hope all participants could make a
small contribution to. This will allow us to hold further activities like
raffles which allow people to win small prizes at each gathering.
All the
money we raise gets pumped back in to The Language Circle which allows us to
continue are good work with the local community.
Hopefully,
we’ll be able to hold much grander activities in the near future.
4)
What are you trying to achieve by running this club?
The
Language Circle offers a chance for all people of different back grounds to
come together on a regular basis to have fun, improve our language skills,
learn about our respective countries and generally have a good time doing it.
If I
can help people in some way, sharing some of my knowledge I learnt through my life
then may I introduce you to one of my blogs, JOB & Internship UK (Link
of the website). The purpose of this is not just to help people find jobs
or internships but also to help people find accommodation and local information
for services.
The Big
Goal: About one year ago, was to create
a support center for foreign and English students in Liverpool. I set upon the
task to help students in the UK to enjoy their life a little bit better, like
me ;)
I give
away free hints and tips and try to help them avoid the mistakes that some
people have made like scams etc.
5)
Do you think it has been successful so far?
Yes,
it’s very new and I started advertising on Facebook just 1 week before the
first event and 15 people turned up which made me really pleased! ;)
6)
Why is it important for people to learn different languages and cultures?
It’s
important that people have a clear vision, with an open mind and to see how
life is different in other countries.
It’s important
to know what’s going on in other countries as some of these people are within
and amongst our communities and it’s just great to see how they do things
differently!
I think
it’s very good to have the opportunity to meet different people from different
backgrounds and to share all of this together. They are people from nurses,
entrepreneurs, doctors, students, artists and even jobseekers and much, much
more!
7)
Do you think it will help international students socialise and make
friends?
I
really hope so! The Language Circle can really help students make connexions
with and amongst their communities.
The
first step is always the hardest one but always the easiest one too when it
comes to making friends.
The
Language Circle is about socialising and meeting new people and friends!
8)
What is your title? For example, are you the manager? Founder? ect.
I’m the
owner, advertiser, organiser and host for the event!
9)
Did you find it difficult to make friends and to socialise when you moved to
the UK?
For me,
not really because I have this extravagant personality but I’ve met a lot of
people who feel really lonely and unsure so it’s why me and my team are here to
help ;-)
10)
Who helps you run the club?
I’m on my own, but no
alone…
Well,
once upon a time it was just me and after, I asked my sister to help me create a
flyer and then an anonymous guy helped me to print out the flyers.
I am not just alone ;)
I am not just alone ;)
