How to Survive a Colombian Dinner Party
By the end of this session, students will be able to leave behind the awkward, silent nodding and actively participate in casual group conversations. Specifically, they will master: - Brain-buying filler words: How to naturally use bueno, a ver, and o sea to pause and think without breaking the flow of the conversation. - The "native reaction" toolkit: A set of go-to, high-energy phrases to react to gossip, stories, or jokes in real time, such us ¡No me digas!, ¡Qué fuerte!, and ¡Totalmente!. - The art of the interruption: Polite, conversational hacks to jump into a fast-moving conversation before the topic changes.

Kai Freudenthal
Empieza tu camino en español: práctico, paciente y enfocado en principiantes.
¡Hola! Soy un tutor de idiomas y viajero al que le encanta explorar historias personales. Mi propio camino me ha llevado a vivir en Alemania, en Holanda y en Colombia, donde me sumergí profundamente en la calidez y el ritmo latinoamericano. Como yogui, aporto paciencia y atención plena a mi enseñanza, asegurándome de que tus primeros pasos en español se sientan naturales y emocionantes, no abrumadores.
About this class
The class is conducted almost entirely in Spanish, creating a warm, lively "dinner party simulation" environment where mistakes are just part of the fun. This isn't a lecture. The session leverages the group format, so students can chat, interrupt, and react to each other, mimicking a real-world social circle.
