The CASIE Atlanta Language MeetUp: The Speakeasy is a monthly meeting showcasing a model language lesson taught entirely in the target language. Experience face-to-face instruction with a focus on communicative approaches for learning language. Each month, “The Speakeasy” features a different world language, taught by native speakers, in a lively, active and engaged manner. Our MeetUp will last approximately 90 minutes. No prior knowledge or study of any language is required. This is not a conversation group, but rather an opportunity to observe and participate in a model language lesson. We welcome members from all language backgrounds and interests. Come join us in a relaxed, friendly, and enjoyable atmosphere. Drinks will be provided.
