Language Exchange & Learning - Only for Serious Learning
When I went to language exchanges, 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:
- No bar. We go for a walk in a garden. Somewhere quiet, where you can hear the person next to you.
- One language. You sign up for your language. Everyone around you is learning the same thing.
- In pairs. You get a partner and we change every 15 minutes. No closed groups. Everyone talks the whole time.
- With a guide. We give you a topic for each part of the walk. Something real to talk about — not "where are you from?" again.
- You leave with your corrections. 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.
Guided Language Exchange - Solo para quienes van en serio
Cuando iba a los intercambios de idiomas, siempre salía frustrado.
Mucha gente estaba ahí más para socializar o ligar que para aprender de verdad. El bar era demasiado ruidoso. Tenía que gritar para que me oyeran. La gente se quedaba en grupos cerrados a los que no podía entrar. Y después de dos horas, solo había practicado el idioma que quería aprender de forma muy superficial.
No necesitaba otra noche de fiesta.
Necesitaba mejorar de verdad en el idioma.
Así que creé el formato que yo quería:
- Sin bar. Vamos a caminar por un jardín. Un lugar tranquilo, donde puedes oír a la persona que tienes al lado.
- Un idioma. Te apuntas a tu idioma. Todos a tu alrededor aprenden lo mismo.
- En parejas. Tienes un compañero y cambiamos cada 15 minutos. Sin grupos cerrados. Todos hablan todo el rato.
- Con una guía. Te damos un tema para cada parte del paseo.
Algo real de qué hablar - no "¿de dónde eres?" otra vez. - Te vas con tus correcciones. Durante el paseo, usarás herramientas que corrigen lo que no supiste decir, para que puedas repasarlo más tarde. Vuelves a casa con una sesión de práctica real que puedes releer y estudiar.
Esto no es una fiesta. Es para gente que va en serio con el idioma y está cansada de los bares ruidosos.
Si vienes a aprender, encajarás perfectamente - si no, probablemente esto no es para ti.

Spanish & English Exchange in Groups of 4 - Matched by Job & Interests
Avinguda de la República Argentina, 110, Av. de la República Argentina, 110, Gràcia, 08023 Barcelona, Spain, Barcelona, CT, ESSTART HERE: fill this 3-minute form to get your group 👉 sign-up
⚠️ 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 👉
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.***
