What if the easiest way to start a conversation is to stop trying so hard? Here, a game gives you the first move, another language gives you something to explore, and the café’s cats may decide when it’s time for a pause.
No perfect sentence required
This casual Taipei gathering brings international residents, visitors, and local people together to meet, play, and practice languages. Switch between the languages you know and the ones you are learning—or simply start with your name and see where the conversation goes.
The social games help take the pressure off introductions. You might find a practice partner, learn an expression you will actually use, or meet someone who makes Taipei feel a little more familiar. The aim is simple: create genuine connections between foreigners and Taiwanese people, while helping newcomers feel more at home in Taiwan.
你好 → hello → こんにちは → your turn
Come curious. Bring your sense of humor. Grammar can loosen its tie for the evening.

Whether you arrive with several languages or only a few brave phrases, there is room to begin. Say hello, choose a game, and let the table—and perhaps a cat—handle the rest.
