English Conversation Dinners
What we do
During the Penn semester, we meet Thursdays for dinner at 6 PM. Each time, we serve a different dish and have a different table topic or activity to talk about. Come by any week you’re free!
Sign up now right here at this link. Once you do, we’ll send you the location (we may move, but we’ll always be a few minutes’ walking distance of Penn and Drexel).
Feel free to email any questions to journey.philadelphia @gmail.com 😊
Why we do this
While many international students are proficient in reading and writing, conversational English is an important skill most easily gained through practice. However, it can be difficult to find a space with native speakers where you feel safe enough to make mistakes and ask questions.
We want to be able to provide that kind of comfortable space for international students of all backgrounds to come, practice English, have fun, and get to know each other!
What we eat 😋
We have some pretty tasty, home-cooked Asian dishes lined up for the spring semester, 2023. Come and get good food while practicing English!
This semester, we are charging just $5 (or less) per meal so that we can offset the cost of preparing this food. You can also feel free to bring your own food and join us!
