A free conversational cafe to help speakers of other languages to learn English has been relaunched at a busy Lanarkshire venue.
Run by college lecturer Khadija Hadji, the fortnightly Saturday-morning sessions take place at Summerlee museum in Coatbridge and have so far had 20 people attending, including a number of refugees from Ukraine who have moved to North Lanarkshire.
They began their initial sessions by chatting about topics including Hogmanay traditions and Christmas crafts, and are lining up a host of plans including future guests, ceilidhs and even group trips.
