About the team

Linguas runs weekly language exchange and social nights in Melbourne, currently on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the CBD.

The team looks after the event concept, venues, hosts, digital systems, social media, partnerships and the small details that make it easier for new people to walk in and start talking.

Linguas is part of the wider Intermingle Australia event ecosystem, alongside projects such as Respawn, Thought Experiment and Sugar & Spice.

Focused on CBD language exchange nights, social events and international community building.

Language and culture

Designed for people practising English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish and other languages.

Built around people
