Seattle Polyglots Wiki

Welcome! This wiki is dedicated to serving people in the Greater Seattle Area who are passionate about languages and cultures. You can coordinate events and share content with us here!

Find the Seattle Polyglots events at: https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Polyglots/ (There are many ways of defining the word polyglot. Our definition is anyone who is passionate about languages.)

Find the Seattle Language & Culture Meetup at: https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Language-Culture-Meetup/ (We are looking to our members to suggest their interest in movie nights, international dinners and cultural festivals.)

Many other language groups are listed in the Resources by Language and Events sections below. These two groups have been highlighted because they aim to bring together people for all language and cultural backgrounds.

We hope to grow as a diverse community to include people from all backgrounds from total beginners to seasoned professors.
