Citizenship Prep Barcelona

From Barcelona Entrepreneurs and Startups

Hola a tod@s! Se acercan las elecciones y con esta charla os propongo un recorrido divulgativo para conocer mejor el funcionamiento de nuestro sistema político y electoral. Una oportunidad para conocer mejor cómo funciona el sistema político en España, interpretar la actualidad con más herramientas y reflexionar sobre la importancia de las instituciones, la representación política y la participación ciudadana. Partiremos del modelo político español para explicar la separación de poderes —legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial—, la composición y las funciones del Congreso y el Senado, el procedimiento de elección del presidente del Gobierno o el funcionamiento de la ley D’Hondt, descubriendo cómo se reparten los escaños. Compararemos el modelo español con otros sistemas políticos democráticos contemporáneos, para entender las diferencias entre un sistema parlamentario como el español o el italiano, respecto a un sistema semipresidencialista como el francés o presidencialista puro como el estadounidense. También nos adentraremos en la organización del Poder Judicial: qué tribunales existen, cómo se eligen los principales órganos de gobierno de los jueces, qué papel desempeña el Tribunal Constitucional o el Tribunal Supremo y en qué consisten conceptos como el aforamiento o la inmunidad parlamentaria. En definitiva una guía sencilla y útil para conocer mejor como funciona nuestra democracia y reflexionar sobre las bondades y defectos de nuestro sistema político RESUMEN DEL PLAN: 11.30 Charla ELECCIONES 29N Y SISTEMA POLÍTICO ESPAÑOL: MANUAL DE INSTRUCCIONES A cargo de Miguel Garau, (Doctor en Historia Contemporánea y animador de este grupo de meet up) Duración de la charla: 60-75 minutos A continuación preguntas y tertulia abierta Lugar: En el primer piso del mítico Café la Opera (Las Ramblas).

Hablar es mejor (Clase de conversación y errores en español)

Tue, Nov 10, 10:00 AM

From Spanish Ninja

4.9

Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.
