I became a member last year. The worst experience ever. I mainly vistied meetups in Germany to improve my German. To my surprise most members couldnt speak more then ten words German while I speak it quite well. My experiences got worse after in one group I got kicked out because I didnt hold a degree in literarure and argumented their choice of only modern literature. Also most of them couldnt read Herman Hesse in German which I can. Even stating that some unknown New York writress was far more influential then Hesse or Mann. In the other group my younger girlfriend nearly got molested. Great news or not. Most are led by expats from the States cause they run away for the Don. Using names like Unique or Miss E they are notorious narcists. Or Mundo Lingo a group that confuses language training with a pyama party. The organizer is never there. Anyway save yourself a lot of trouble and forget about meetup. Just another messup.
