Language cafe

It will be organized by students, native or near-native speakers of Spanish.

learning or improving their skills in a specific language.

Active Participation: Each participant must actively contribute to the conversation tables, speaking in the language being practiced. They will also take part in activities to enhance language skills such as role-playing, games, or guided discussions.

Cultural Openness: Participants should come with an open mind, ready to learn about different cultures and be respectful towards languages and customs unfamiliar to them.
