Hi there

My husband and I are arriving in Begur on Saturday, 5th April where we will be staying until 14th June.  We came for a similar period last year, when I started weekly spanish lessons with a teacher in Palafrugell, with whom I will be restarting lessons upon our return.

I would like to know whether there are any groups that meet up to improve their spanish, say over a coffee or individuals that would be interested in doing so.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks

Caroline

Last year I started having one to one spanish lessons with a wonderful teacher, Sara Garcia, in Palafrugell. On returning home to Kettlewell, in the Yorkshire Dales, I found a weekly conversational class in Ilkley.  I also try to do Duolingo every day. 

I feel that I can read and understand alot more but still lack enough conversational practice. 

Sara has her own website: aprendespanol.net where she details the services she provides together with her contact information.

Where are you from Helen and have you been to Begur before?

It would be lovely to meet up with you when you arrive. 

Best Wishes

Hi Caroline

Thanks for your msg.  I'm from Ludlow in South Shropshire and we bought a place in the centre of Begur a year ago.   We try and spend 4-5 weeks at a time, a few times a year, although I'm working, so somewhat limited at the moment.  Our next trip on 27th April is only for 3 we...

I certainly need to grearly improve my spoken Spanish, so would be great to meet up and have someone to practice with!  Are you centrally located?

Not sure how we make contact outside this forum?

Hope you're having a great time in sunny Begur!

Hi Helen

We are having a great time thank you. It has been a little wet this morning but there are chinks of blue sky appearing now.

The house we are renting is just round the corner from the central Spa supermarket.  Where abouts is your house?

We have friends arriving on 27th April until 1st May.  So maybe you could message me when you arrive and we can arrange where to meet. Do you have a favourite place that you like to go?    

With best wishes to you in lovely Ludlow.

We have family arriving 3rd - 7th May.   How about meeting up on 2nd May, perhaps the Bar de Placa in the main square, or perhaps El Farolillo, the friendly little cafe adjacent to the church next to the lovely greengrocers. 

Our apartment is in Casa Gran, which is located in between Sotheby's and Caixa Bank.

Happy Easter!

Helen

I might be having a spanish lesson on 2nd May but I'm waiting for this to be confirmed, as my lesson is normally on a Tuesday. It only lasts an hour. Is it ok if we confirm a time to meet when I know the lesson time? Hopefully I can let you know ASAP.

Best wishes

Caroline
