Are you hungry for language practice? Do you like meeting like-minded people who are interested in learning the same language you are? Then check out the World Affairs Council-hosted "Language Dinners," offered through its Young Professionals International Forum. Language learners "get together for the purpose of eating delicious food, spiced with good talk in the local language” in restaurants around San Francisco. Languages spoken include French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish, to name the languages taught at CCSF. The Council also hosts dinners for Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, and Romanian learners. For more details, go to It's Your World.
