Hey Miguelā€¦ is there a place where we can view the room bookings to check if time slots are available?

Will this link show a continuously updated version of the spreadsheet or will it show the version as of November 5?

Good question!

Yeah, Iā€™m updating this as I get new submissions, so I will always try to have the most recent schedule in the thread.

Hi Miguel,

Iā€™m happy to help in any way. Iā€™m now in lockdown until Dec 2nd, so have more free time now.

I look forward to seeing the spreadsheet start to fill out. Iā€™ve already flagged up Zeinaā€™s Arabic chat times.

I got you, Cate! Added :slight_smile:

@MultilingualBronxite - the display for available slots will need to be updated. I donā€™t have access to your post for thatā€¦ Is there a way to pin a view-only version somewhere that doesnā€™t require reposting a new image each time?

I wish I could find some way for the image to update automatically, but nothing exists for that yet. Iā€™ll just post the link for the spreadsheet as well. Haha

Iā€™ll also find a time for one-off activities that Iā€™m planning myself :smiley:

  • a old presentation from last yearā€™s Polyglot Gathering that I gave on Regional Mexican music

  • a Kahoot quiz of this yearā€™s Conference and stuff related to it

  • as promised to Zeina, a Polyglot bachelor party :stuck_out_tongue: :laughing: :laughing: Participants can share pre-wedding rituals and traditions so that we all learn about how this ceremony is done in many countries

Iā€™ll post dates for these pretty soon.

Could anyone please let me know what level of Spanish will be offered on Monday and Wednesday?

Also, will there be a native speaker?

Thank you :slight_smile:

Hi @Zeina-AR-DE-FR-EN! Regardless of level and proficiency, anyone who is interested in practicing Spanish are welcome to join on both days! Iā€™m a new beginner in Spanish myself so I hope to be able to meet more Spanish speakers here! Iā€™m not sure if there will be a native speaker but I hope Spanish native speakers can come join us :slight_smile: Even without native speakers, we still can practice and exchange Spanish studying tips!

There are Spanish sessions? I will have a look at them and try to join you :slight_smile: Iā€™m a beginner myself more or less (A2 maybe?), especially in speaking, but I understand a lot of written Spanish thanks to my French :slight_smile:
