Spanish & English Exchange in Groups of 4 - Matched by Job & Interests

Spanish & English Exchange in Groups of 4 - Matched by Job & Interests

Sun, Oct 25, 2:00 PM
From Guided Language Exchange & Learning - Only Serious Learning
4.8

**START HERE: fill this 3-minute form to get your group 👉** [sign-up](https://tally.so/r/ODWkeK) **⚠️ IF YOU DON'T FILL IN THE FORM AT LEAST 24H BEFORE THE EVENT, WE CAN'T MATCH YOU AND YOU CAN'T JOIN. RSVP ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH.** At language exchanges, groups never last because people don't relate to each other. You end up talking with random people you have nothing in common with. Next time it's another random group, and you start again from "where are you from?". It's Russian roulette, and you waste so much time. I didn't want more random chats. I wanted people I'd actually keep practicing with. I wanted people who where serious about learning. So I made the format I wanted 👉 1. **Apply first.** The form is written in the language you're learning. It's your first exercise, and it tells us who you are and who you need to write to. 2. **Get matched.** Groups of 4 with at least 1 person with good level of Spanish or English. Same level first, then age, same job or goal (marketing, tech, IELTS, moving to Spain...), then shared interests. 3. **Meet your group.** At the event you find out who's in your group and do a first guided exercise together, writing and speaking. We give you the topics and materials. 4. **Keep going on WhatsApp.** After the event, your group continues in writing. 3 prompts a week: you write in the language you're learning and reply to one person in your native language. **Warning ⚠️:** * No form, no group. We build the groups from the form, so there are no last-minute spots. * If we can't balance your group (for example, too many Spanish speakers), you go on the waitlist with priority for the next edition. * It's for people who are serious about learning. If you're not here to learn, this probably isn't for you. **Logistics 🗺️:** **MEETING POINT:** Vallcarca station, address: Avinguda de la República Argentina 110. EN: After the turnstiles, take the stairs on the right to go up. ES: Después de los torniquetes, sube por las escaleras de la derecha. ***
