This Meetup group was founded on October 10, 2005 by a lady from Vietnam who hosted language and dining events in Brooklyn, New York. She named me as her assistant before stepping down. I rescued it prior to its closing by Meetup, Inc. as the new group organizer on April 11, 2006. I added Chinese, French, English and Portuguese to distinguish it from the large New York Vietnamese assemblage. I keep it running along side the New York City English as a Second Language (ESL) and The Citizens of the …

… We speak Spanish and Greek, sometimes proper English :) and are brushing up on our native language, New Yorker Slang. When we lived in NC for a couple of years, I was the organizer of a super fun and quite active bi-lingual (Spanish/English) playgroup. It was lots of work, but so worth it.

I'm a true believer in the fact that it takes a village to raise a chil …

As many of you know, there are several different Chinese meetup groups in New York. At most of these meetups, speakers of all levels are welcome. This means that quite a large percentage of the conversation tends to be in English.

I have started this meetup to create a place where intermediate, advanced, or native speakers can go and speak entirely in Chinese. Sure, you …
