Accept diffrent language speaking at virtual meetup .

my opinion for language speaking at virtual meetup.  some people could nor speak in English well or French.but they believe to speak in their onw language well .if they can accept different language at the meetup .this we bring more unity among other local guides.lets allow people speak language he/she like.this can give confident to participant  to organize their own meetup.and can allow participant to present with is own language.let's accept different language to speak at meetup.even doo u can speak in yoruba or hausa or igbo.that's why some people dont want to be come google local guides.because they don't have confident to speak in good English or French.but they can speak their own language to present their self on a meetup. and then they have wisdow of active to perform as local guides.let's allow local guides in different country around the world, to perform with is language at virtual meetup..because they can speak in english language that's why they didn't join the local guides member group.lets know each other with diffrent language to speak at virtual meetup. If we dont allow other language to speak at the meetup. It will be we dont recognize others language.lets us recognize other language in the world at the virtual meetup.thanks.this my ideas if can go for vote.thanks.

Hi, @Durojaiyeolaunde1, as Local Guides, we are free to host meet-ups in any language we want. My Brazilian friends and I have been hosting several meet-ups in Portuguese, as you can check here. Next Saturday, we'll also have a bilingual meet-up (Portuguese/English)

 

best regards,

Hi @Durojaiyeolaunde1,

 

Thanks for sharing with us!

 

I have just released your post from the Spam Filters. I would like to apologize for your post being marked as spam. Our filters run 24/7 and they can be a little harsh at times.

I'm closing your idea, as Local Guides can organize meet-ups in different languages, there is no criteria, that they need to be in English. I couldn't find any ongoing French meet-up right now, but you can always check out the Meet-ups board.

 

Meanwhile, I recommend you to check out [RECAP] Tips & tricks virtual Meetup for French speaking Local Guides.

@Durojaiyeolaunde1 There is currently no restrictions to hosting meet ups in any language on connect.  You can as well present in any language during a meet up as much as your audience can understand what you are saying. I have personally attended an only Bangladeshi meet up, thankfully, i was able to turn on cc and see what is been discussed.
