Foreigners in TaipeiTaiwan/外國人在台灣語言交換

New-ish in Taiwan, still pointing at the menu and hoping for the best? This is a language exchange in Da'an, run by the community behind Foreigners in Taipei & Taiwan / 外國人在台北&台灣, where people living here get together to swap languages, trade tips and finally ask somebody how the recycling schedule works.

There's no exam and no need for perfect tones. Come practice, help someone with your language, and leave with a few more people you can message when Taiwan confuses you.

5F, Roosevelt Road

You'll find us at 台北市大安區羅斯福路三段297號5F. Take the lift to the fifth floor. Your 你好 can warm up on the way.

The group chat that keeps going after the event

The exchange grew out of a Facebook community built around three things: 生活 Life, 資訊 Information and 工作 Jobs. It works simply. You post a question and someone who's already been through it will probably answer.

• Foreigners in Taipei & Taiwan, group 11

• Foreigners in Taipei & Taiwan, group 6
