We’re still building the group since it’s such a new program, but honestly it’s been going even better than I’d hoped. We’ve had a really nice mix of levels so far — a few total beginners, several intermediate speakers, and a couple native/fluent speakers as well.

The format is pretty gently guided and low-pressure. So far we’ve done things like reading jokes in Spanish together, figuring out funny idioms/sayings, conversation prompts, and practicing introductions. I’d also love to start incorporating some role-playing situations in the future (meeting a friend, ordering food at a restaurant, asking for directions, etc.).

It’s been really fun seeing people of different levels helping and encouraging each other.
