FAQ
What is a language exchange?
The process is very simple. At the mayority of the exchanges, you will receive a sticker on which you write down your name, your native language and the language(s) you would like to speak. You can search for people whose native languages corresponds to the languages you would like to practice. You can always ask our crew for help if you have difficulty finding another suitable participant. During the few events where we do not work with stickers, our crew assigns the tables so everybody can join a suitable group of participants. A few minutes later the event turns into a multilingual social gathering where you can meet international friends.
The exchange on Friday is a bit different. In umbracle at the entry you will receive a flag of your country /native tongue and you will search for a particpant who speaks the language you would like to practice. That way the diversity of our participants is shown through the flags.
What is the cost of the events?
Most events are free of charge, except for our Friday events, as we organize special activities such as painting and ceramic classes. These events involve some costs for materials provided by VLE. A drink is mandatory at the bar during free events.
Which languages are spoken during the exchanges?
All the languages can be spoken during our languages exchanges. Usually there is a great amount of participants who speak English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Sometimes other languages can be spoken if both native speakers and language learners are present during the exchange. At some exchanges, there are for example participants who speak Portuguese, Russian, Chinese etc. On Fridays all languages and nationalities are present. They can be recognised by their flags during the Flag Tandem Party at Mya/Umbracle.
