What ECX is
ECX — short for English Connect X — is the biggest and busiest English Corner in Kunming. Founded by two foreigners (Dioni and her American friend :), we started ECX because we wanted to build a community that we wished existed:
For the local friends: An English speaking environment that is welcoming and inclusive
For the international friends: A space to connect with the people in this country and city we came to love
And most importantly: Where you can find your people, your tribes, and a place to belong
Every meeting we pick a topic and come up with a list of questions as conversation starters. No need to be "good enough" — just show up as you are. No pressure, no test. We're just a bunch of language lovers hanging out. You'll fit right in. 🥰

Passing through Kunming? Come and join us.
It's one of the easiest ways to meet locals who speak English. And honestly, we love having travellers in the room. You bring stories none of us have heard. 😉
