Awesome Talk Cafe - International Language Exchange Cafe in Sinchon

Awesome Talk is an international language exchange cafe that is open five days a week in Sinchon.  It is closed on Monday and Thursday, but every other day you can go and there tend to be people there.  I haven't been in recent times, but each day is made for to study a specific language, or for other special events like parties and making friends.

This is a great place for expats to hang out when they want to speak English.  There are all types of English meet up groups in Seoul, but this one in particular is quite nice because it is always there and always open.  The reason that this makes Awesome Talk stand out as opposed to other meet up groups is because you often see the same faces in the cafe and therefore you get to know the people well and make friends.  At other meet up groups it can be a crap shoot.

If you are looking to practice Korean, then Sunday is the day for you, but this is not the greatest cafe for Korean practice in my opinion.  This is a great place when you want a break from speaking Korean and to speak English.  There are also days dedicated to other languages, and some of them tend to be quite studious.

Awesome Talk is a bit hit or miss in terms of how many people show up at the place.  At times the cafe is completely full with really cool people, and at others there are few people to talk to.  However, if you have time to go consistently, you can make friends with a lot of people including the workers and the owner so it is fun even on slow days.
