Speak the language. In person.

Pollyglot is a new way to find people in Guildford to practise languages with, face to face. It is being built by Guildford Babel, the local language exchange running since 2016.

How it will work
  1. Tell us your languages. The ones you speak, and the ones you are learning.
  2. Pick your area and times. Only your area is shown, never an address.
  3. Meet and practise. Find people nearby whose languages fit with yours.
Why in person

Texting a stranger on the other side of the world rarely gets you speaking. A coffee and a real conversation down the road does. Pollyglot is for people who live nearby and want to meet.

Grown from Guildford Babel

Guildford Babel has brought people together to swap languages since 2016: in pubs and cafés until 2023, and online since. Its Facebook group has 661 members. Pollyglot is its next chapter.
