Codenames clues in English. Werewolf accusations in Mandarin. Mario Kart trash talk in whatever language comes out first. Every Tuesday and Wednesday night, expats, travelers, digital nomads, students and locals take over a café near Dongmen. Language practice happens because you're too busy playing to notice you're doing it.
