Heya! Storm here. JoCo Cruise 2025 is the first year we've done a casual meetup for people who are enjoying learning a language(s), or might be interested, or just want to be around other people who are into different languages. These short questions will help us get a sense of how to prepare for the hangout. Not that there's much to it, but your feedback is appreciated!

Do you plan to attend the language meetup? (10 a.m. on Friday in the Crow's Nest)

Definitely!

Probably, but it's a cruise, so I might end up sleeping in / could be hungover / other things might happen

Maybe, but I'm a little nervous about my language skills

Nope! I just like taking surveys.

Other:

Clear selection

How much have you spoken with others in the language you're currently most interested in

None or practically none: at this point I'm just interested

None or practically none: I've been learning on my own

A little bit, with friends or "in the wild" when able

A little bit, in classroom or other structured settings

Fairly regularly (in any setting)

A lot

Clear selection

What methods are you using now, or have in the past, to learn languages? (please check all that apply)

In a classroom setting in the past (as part of your formal education, language school, etc.)

Currently in a classroom setting

I grew up or lived in a multi-lingual household or area

From friends who speak languages other than my primary language

Traveling and/or living abroad

Duolingo

Babbel

Rosetta Stone

Other app or audio learning

Textbooks

Other books, periodicals, or other written material

TV, movies, music, and similar

Other:

Which, if any, of the following potential activities appeal to you. (Note: fillable tags and possibly flag stickers will be available so you can indicate what language(s) you're interested in, and if you're just interested, a beginner, intermediate, or any other way you want to describe.)

Mingling with other people who are interested in languages is enough, thanks!

For beginners: pairing up with someone/others who are advanced in another language, to test my ability in a safe setting

For more advanced speakers: pairing up with someone/others who are beginners, to help encourage them

Sharing or comparing favorite or funny phrases

Sharing or exchanging songs, poems, or other works with others

No, really, I just think it'd be fun to mingle with other people who are into different languages!

Please indicate which languages you're studying, dabbling, or interested in, and how well you feel you know them (in terms of speaking)
