----------------------------------------------------------------------
We may have all levels of Spanish speakers at a table -we all either love Spanish or want to love it!
We will be mingling a few minutes then sitting down to tables of 5-6 to eat dinner and have fun conversation. Let's keep it all in Spanish except for translation when needed. I will give everyone a guidance sheet with a list of questions that can be used in a round-table fashion.
Beginners should be taking lessons to learn and progress in Spanish. See this free program: https://spanishtutoring.com/
Guidelines
- When doing a roundtable, everyone gets a few minutes to answer the question. Feel free to bring written notes which you must read.
- The group will then have an opportunity to ask questions of the speaker
- Speak as clearly as you can at a moderate pace.
- Be patient with speakers and let them finish expressing themselves.
- Corrections and suggestions to others should be made at the end of event, unless asked. The goal is for us to express ourselves verbally, and not speak with perfection.
- Corrections and suggestions to others can also be made by asking questions or Repeating what the speaker is trying to say.
- Write down in a notebook/iphone new vocabulary and sentences you learned.
- Please be polite and generous with the wait staff & no negative comments or reviews.
