7.0 Community Link: The Language Hub in Glasgow

In many cities, language cafés and hubs are becoming increasingly popular, and you can find a wide range of different languages on offer for these. These are gatherings where people interested in a particular language come together to practice speaking this language together, independent of their level of proficiency. You’ll often even find native speakers at such language cafés.

An interesting example is the Language Hub social enterprise in Glasgow's West End.  This hub for all things to do with languages caters for children as well as adults and offers a wide range of services from language classes in a variety of languages for young and old, language translation services, a multilingual library, a café for informal languages events and a community events space where many of the Hub's events are taking place.
