Antalya speaking club
Speak English, Russian or Turkish over a glass of tea: small conversation groups bringing locals and newcomers together in Antalya. Türkçe
In short: The IONETO Antalya speaking club is a set of small conversation groups that bring locals who want to practise a language together with people who have just moved to Antalya, around a café table. English, Russian and Turkish groups are formed; a moderator opens a topic and makes sure everyone speaks. We are setting up the first Antalya groups: leave your language and level in the form and you'll hear when a group opens.

What a meet-up looks like
There are 6–10 people at the table. The moderator starts with a quick round of introductions, opens an everyday topic and makes sure everyone gets a turn. Mistakes are welcome; the goal is fluency and confidence. Meet-ups last about 1.5–2 hours.
Turkish practice and language exchange
For foreigners settling in Antalya, Turkish tables start with picture cards and short dialogues. At language exchange tables half the time is in Turkish and half in English or Russian, so both sides benefit.
Russian and English groups
Antalya has a large Russian-speaking community. Russian tables are open both to locals learning Russian and to Russian speakers practising Turkish. English tables focus on work and everyday conversation.
