When I went to language exchanges in Barcelona, I always left frustrated. A lot of people were there more to socialize or flirt than to actually learn. The bar was too loud. I had to shout to be heard. People stayed in closed groups I couldn't join. And after two hours, I had only practiced the language I wanted to learn at a surface level. I didn't need another night out. I needed to actually get better in the language. So I made the format I wanted 👉:
1. No bar. We go for a walk or we're in a garden. Somewhere quiet, where you can hear the person next to you. 2. Only one language pair: Spanish-English. You sign up for your language and your level. Everyone around you is learning the same thing. 3. In pairs: You get a partner and we change every 15 minutes. No closed groups. Everyone talks the whole time. 4. With a guide: The event is structured in 3 sections where you can practice writing and speaking. We give you a topic for each part. Something real to talk about — not "where are you from?" again. 5. Materials and setup: Dedicated materials will be provided to you for the speaking part. Also, for the writing part, we provide a free mobile application that support your practice (the download is of course optional and you can attend the event without the application). 6. You leave with your cheatsheets: During the walk, you'll use tools that correct what you couldn't say, so you can review it later. You go home with a real practice session you can read back and learn from.
This is not a party. It's for people who are serious about learning and tired of noisy bars. If you're here to learn, you'll fit right in - if you're not, this probably isn't for you. Warning ⚠️:
• The park is uphill (that's also why there is a beautiful view!) so bring water with you and stay prepared for a short hiking. The short hike takes 10 minutes. • Intro of the event takes 10-15 minutes • So, please expect the event to be 1 hour of full practice.
