About Spanish Conversations

Have you ever lived or worked in a Spanish speaking country and returned/moved to Australia and don't want to lose your Spanish conversation skills? Or you are learning and want to practice conversation as if you were in a Spanish speaking country? Or are about to travel to a Spanish Speaking country and want some last minute practice?

Well, I was born in South America and our family moved to Australia when I was a kid.  Then I moved to Spain more than 10 years ago, and now having moved back to Melbourne in recent years, I don't find the occasion to speak in Spanish anymore.

So I miss it, and would enjoy meeting other people who enjoy conversing as much as I do. This group is very social, fun & has a relaxed atmosphere to encourage everyonbe to give Spanish a try.  And would be good for anyone who has little, some or alot of Spanish speaking ability and wants: - to practice - to maintain fluency - to help others looking for Spanish tutoring, or just good old fashioned Spanish conversation.

It will also be a great opportunity for those new, or renewed, Melbournians to expand our social network and learn about all the other places that speak Spanish, or Melbourne itself.  Not to mention the coffee or drinks which may be had!

The conversation meetings will mostly be held around South Yarra/Prahran.  Though some activities will be held around Melbourne.
