Tha Cruinneachadh nan Iol-chainnteach a' comharrachadh gu fàilteach cho aighearach 's a tha e a bhith ag ionnsachadh chànanan. Cluinnidh sibh òraidean misneachail, togaidh sibh gliocasan feumail, agus bidh cothrom agaibh ur n-ùidh a com-pàirteachadh le caraidean seann is ùr. 'S e aon de na bàrr-phuingean agam ann am bliadhna ionnsachadh chànanan.

I go to the Polyglot Gathering every year. Cannot wait to talk to more language lovers again this year!

Tha buaidh mhòr aig Cruinneachadh nan Iol-chainnteach, an dà chuid an làthair agus air loidhne, air mo bheatha. Tha e dìreach sgoinneil a bhith cruinn còmhla ri daoine às gach ceàrnaidh eadar-dhealaichte a tha na h-aon ùidhean aca is a tha a' brosnachadh càch a chèile, ge b' oil le cia mheud cànain a tha thu a' bruidhinn. An-uiridh, chaidh an cruinneachadh air loidhne thairis air na bha mi an dùil, agus tha fadachd mhòr orm ri sin a-rithist am-bliadhna - tha ag èisteachd ri òraidean fìor inntinneach, a' tachairt ri seann charaidean ann an seòmraichean cleachdadh chànanan agus a' coinneachadh ri caraidean ùra ann an gnìomhachdan sòisealta cuid a dh'eisimpleirean de na tha cho cudromach dhomh a thaobh Cruinneachadh nan Iol-chainnteach.

Taing ana-mhòr airson an tachartais seo! Cha robh mi riamh aig tachartas a b' in-ghabhalta - daoine às na tha sin de dhùthchannan aig iomadh aois a' bruidhinn an t-uabhas de chànanan! Tha mi toilichte gun robh an cothrom agam pàirt a ghabhail mar aoigh agus mar neach-labhairt agus tha fadachd mhòr orm a-cheana ri Cruinneachadh nan Iol-chainnteach an-ath-bhliadhn'!

A wonderful example of how languages are the best way to build bridges between cultures and learn from each other rather than focusing on the differences. Discover that there are so many people who think the same way as I do and love switching between languages all the time.

It’s the best time of the year when you come together with people who share the same passion for language learning as you. For five days in a row, you get to practice your languages, learn about language-related topics, and meet new people from all over the world who quickly go from strangers to friends.

It gives you hundreds of new language partners, travel companions, couches to crash on, and shoulders to cry on.

Meeting interesting people. Meeting other people interested in languages and cultural understanding. Getting inspired how to improve my own language learning. Meeting friends.

It’s certainly one of my highlights of the year. It is not only the time of the Gathering itself but also the months and weeks of looking forward to it and the inspiration I take home from each Gathering.

It’s a place to meet all types of language enthusiasts in a very open, diverse, and friendly atmosphere.

As long as you find languages interesting, you’ll fit right in!

It’s a place where we can connect with people from all over the world in a peaceful and respectful manner. It is a great event because no matter the age or background of the participants, everyone is welcome and we can bond easily over our shared interest, which is to get to know new languages and cultures.

It’s a possibility to access an ideal world where you are understood and your ideas are shared. Like a summer camp for adults!

I never realized there were so many people out there who shared my passion for language learning. Finding an event that brings them all together was an epiphany. I have found my people: their passion for languages supports and elevates mine to a new level.

It’s THE place where you won’t feel weird about loving languages. It was the first time I was surrounded by people with the same passion as me!
