There is no shortcut to Spanish fluency - but Spanglish is so fun you won’t want one! Spanglish starts during the 30 minute check in: Get to know the other Spanglishers – about half of the attendees at every event are new! After a little bit of ice-breaking, you’ll head to an assigned table for your first one-on-one conversation. No need to worry about making mistakes – the person sitting across from you is in the same boat! You converse for 5 minutes in english, 5 in Spanish – and then move on to a new conversation partner. By the second rotation we promise you’ll be having so much fun you’ll forget you’re learning.
What do we talk about at Spanglish?:
Whatever you want! There are no set topics. We talk about everything from our favorite superheroes to our favorite restaurants – it’s the best way to practice another language – hanging out in a relaxing environment and talking about stuff you know and like!
Who attends Spanglish?
Study abroad students, international students, local Argentine students studying English and anyone looking for a flexible, affordable, and comfortable environment to practice their conversation skills.

Social Meet - New Friends, Good Connections | 🌎Culture Shock Therapy
# **ENGLISH VERSION**
**Dilettos Pastas & Café – Perón 4217, Buenos Aires**
️ **Every Saturday \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS**
️ **Entry: 5,000 ARS (≈ 5 USD)**
***
### **Saturdays just got better.**
Let’s face it — meeting new people as an adult is weird, awkward, and sometimes straight-up intimidating.
So we created a space where everything feels easy.
No pressure. No scripts. No “networking voice.”
Just real people, good energy, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
Come grab a seat, chat with someone new, flirt if the vibe is right , and enjoy that magic moment when strangers start feeling like friends.
No minimum consumption — just bring your vibe, your curiosity, and let the night flow.
Expect:
✨ Multilingual chaos
✨ Cultural surprises
✨ Genuine laughs
✨ Unexpected chemistry
✨ And that “how are we just meeting now?” feeling
This isn’t networking.
This isn’t speed dating.
This is **Culture Shock Therapy** — where the city meets the world.⚡
If you’ve been searching for your tribe in Buenos Aires…
You’ve officially found it

️ **Todos los sábados \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS**
️ **Entrada: $5.000 (≈ 5 USD)**
***
### **Los sábados ahora tienen otro sabor.**
Seamos honestos: hacer amigos de adulto es raro, incómodo y a veces un poco intimidante.
Por eso creamos un espacio donde todo fluye.
Sin presión. Sin caretas. Sin tener que “parecer interesante.”
Solo buena vibra, gente auténtica y conversaciones que valen la pena.
Vení, sentate, conocé a alguien nuevo, coqueteá si pinta , y disfrutá ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañía.
No hay consumo obligatorio — traé tu energía, tus ganas de conectar y dejá que la noche haga lo suyo.
Vas a encontrar:
✨ Caos lingüístico
✨ Choques culturales divertidos
✨ Risas reales
✨ Conexiones inesperadas
✨ Y ese famoso “¿cómo recién nos estamos conociendo?”
No es networking.
No es speed dating.
Esto es **Culture Shock Therapy** — donde la ciudad se mezcla con el mundo. ⚡

Make Friends: Not Small Talk - Deep talks & Coffee | 🌎Culture Shock Therapy
Español Abajo
**☕️ Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee ☕️**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
\*\* What to expect?\*\*
✔️ Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
✔️ Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
✔️ Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zone—without feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
**Where?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
**How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but they’re worth every cent).

**☕️Coffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son Más Fuertes que el Café☕️**
Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incómodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. Aquí venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueños, las crisis existenciales y por qué seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas.
\*\* ¿Qué puedes esperar?\*\*
✔️ Preguntas que te harán pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos).
✔️ Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del tráfico.
✔️ Dinámicas interactivas que te sacarán de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo.
Si estás listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con café en mano y un toque de humor sarcástico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez).
**¿Dónde?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (porque el café sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeína desperdiciada).
**¿Cuánto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sí, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo).

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.
