Dongari Korean-English Conversation Group
Every Friday, 8 p.m. –10 p.m.
Bay Area locations
Dongari, founded in 2002, is a Korean-English conversation group based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Anyone interested in learning and practicing Korean or English language is welcome. Since Dongari is an informal conversation group in a friendly setting and does not offer formal instructions on language, people in any level of proficiency can join. Dongari is a group of people interested in a wide variety of issues related to Korean, American, and Korean-American culture, society, people and our daily experiences.
With members from both San Francisco and the East Bay, the meeting locations alternate between the two places: one week in San Francisco and the next in the East Bay (usually Berkeley). Usually the group meets at a café or a similar public place, or occasionally at a member's house. For more information and to sign up for the group mailings, check out the Dongari Yahoo Groups Web site.
