Language Café

Step into something global right here in Lafayette!
Language Café is a dynamic monthly gathering where language, culture, and community come together in an energetic, welcoming atmosphere. Practice conversational phrases, discover new traditions, and connect with neighbors from diverse backgrounds, all in the heart of Moncus Park.
