30 Days Of Meetup - Day 6

Organizer: Raleigh Portuguese Language Meetup
http://www.portuguese.meetup.com/286

The Raleigh Portuguese Language Meetup is a 108 member group of people who are learning to speak Portuguese, speak fluently, or are native speakers. On average anywhere from 10-22 people attend a meetup event, usually the same 'core' members. We have members of all levels in the group. Some of our members are interested in Brazilian Portuguese, and some are interested in Continental Portuguese. Lucky for them, we have Brazilians, Portuguese, and Cape Verdean members in our group. We meet every other Thursday at Panera Bread-Crabtree at 7pm. We usually take 30 minutes to eat and chat before we begin a lesson or a game that aids in the development of vocabulary, verb tense usage, fixing common mistakes....etc. On our 'About Us' webpage there is a lot of interesting information about countries where Portuguese is spoken, learning links, international newspapers...etc.

On September 5th and 6th, our group will attend the Raleigh International Festival. Some of our members will work at the Brazilian Booth. This year the festival is being held at the new Raleigh Convention Center, and in conjunction with Raleigh Wide Open.

Oh by the way it's FREE!

The International Festival is a chance for us to learn about different cultures, sample their foods, purchase their wares, and watch their performances. I've been almost every year since I moved to Raleigh and it gets better every year. This is a big weekend in downtown Raleigh and everybody should take advantage of it.
