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.

¿Cómo orientarnos hacia una vida plena? Descubre las claves de Aristóteles en un encuentro vivencial y reflexivo. Aristóteles no solo fue uno de los grandes pensadores de la historia, también fue un observador incansable de la realidad. Su filosofía nació del asombro, pero también del contacto directo con la naturaleza, la experiencia y la vida cotidiana. Para él, comprender el mundo era inseparable de aprender a vivir mejor. **En este Filomeetup exploraremos cómo Aristóteles unió filosofía y ciencia sobre la vida. Cómo tomar mejores decisiones, el poder de los hábitos y, en definitiva, cómo orientarnos hacia una vida más plena.** Será un encuentro vivencial, con ejercicios y reflexiones que podrás llevarte a tu día a día. Herramientas filosóficas para tu día a día. Un espacio para aprender juntos, cuestionar, dialogar y conectar con otros buscadores. *¡Aporta tu perspectiva o simplemente ven a inspirarte y despertar lo que ya está en ti!* Actividad impartida por: Belinda Martinez **📅 Sábado 25 de abril de 2026 — 19:00 h a 20:30 h** **🎟️ Actividad gratuita — Plazas limitadas** ⚠️ Por favor, sé responsable con tu inscripción.

(English below) Practicar yôga puede ser muy chulo por qué entrenas una combinación de cuerpo físico, emociones, pensamientos y ese “algo más” que todos tenemos/ somos. Esta clase es un poco especial por qué este grupo normalmente es para mejorar tu español. Como algunos ya sabeis, mi hobbie serio es el yôga, hace años que lo practico y tambien tengo formación como instructor, así que por que no proponer una buena clase de domingo? Será en castellano y te puedo ayudar con inglés tambien. Esta vez entrenaremos técnicas de respiración, de meditación, ásanas y otras técnicas. El ambiente es informal, para todos los niveles, relajado y con sentido del humor. También hay momentos más introspectivos. Lo más importante es que tú mismo/a notes el antes y el después de la clase. El espacio donde quedamos es muy chulo, está a 100 metros de Las Ramblas, de Drassanes o de Liceu en la linea verde. Empezamos puntuales a las 11h. Llega unos minutos antes para disfrutar con calma. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona (efectivo, Bizum, Revolut..) SI ya tienes algún pack de 4 x 30€ de las clases de conversación, puedes participar en esta también (cuenta como 1 clase) El plan después de clase es ir a picar algo (opcional) al Honest Greens de Las Ramblas o a otro lugar cerca. Si te cuadra la idea, ven con ropa cómoda, tipo deportiva y, si tienes, trae tu esterilla, tenemos algunas pero nunca se sabe. Ven con curiosidad para explorar una filosofía que, casi seguro, no tiene mucho que ver con lo que imaginabas. ¡Será muy bueno verte! Rafa. ..... (ENG) Practicing yôga can feel so nice because you train this combination of physical body, emotions, thoughts, and that "something else" that we all have/ are. This class is a little special because in this group we usually do conversation classes to improve your Spanish. As some of you already know, yôga is a serious hobby for me. I've been practicing it for years and I'm also a certified instructor, so why not offer a feel-good sunday class? It will be in Spanish, and I can help you with English as well. This time we'll practice breathing techniques, meditation, asanas, and other techniques. The atmosphere is informal, relaxed, suitable for all levels, and with a sense of humor. There are also more introspective moments. The most important thing is that you yourself notice the difference before and after the class. The space where we meet is really nice and just 100 meters from Las Ramblas, Drassanes, or Liceu on the green line. We need to start on time at 11:00 AM. Please, arrive a few minutes early. To participate, there's a contribution of only €10 per person (cash, Bizum, Revolut) if you have a 4x30€ pack from the regular conversation classes, you can also participate in this one. (It counts as 1 class) The plan after the class is to go for a brunch/ drink (optional) at Honest Greens on Las Ramblas or somewhere else nearby. If you like the idea, join us in comfortable clothes, and if you have one, bring your mat. We have some, but you never know. Come with a sense of curiosity to explore a philosophy that, almost certainly, has little to do with what you imagine. It will be great to see you! Rafa.
