Hi all,

I am trying to learn Spanish but am being held back by the lack of verbal practice. I am in Calahonda (Mijas) and I would like to know if there are any bars or other meeting places to meet people so as to practice Spanish conversation for a few hours, a few times a week? I don't mind travelling a bit but not too far.

It would be good if it was a two way thing. Spanish people trying to learn English and English speakers trying to learn Spanish at various levels.

I am at a basic (beginners) level and as is usual can read Spanish better than I can speak it. I would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks

When I was in the same position, when I spoke to someone in Spanish (in a bar, shop etc) if they answered in English I would tell, in Spanish, that I was Russian and that I did not speak English., that way I got my Spanish practice. (no one ever answered me in Russian !!! )
 
You could also try looking in Spanish Newspapers for people advertising for 'intercambio' of language, or could put an advert in one asking for someone to exchange languages. I used El Anunciador (it used to, don't know about now, come out every Tues and Thurs)
