📚 BOOK CLUB (Oct 3) – "Abundance" By, Ezra Klein

*Why does it feel like it's so hard for the U.S. to build housing, clean energy, and modern infrastructure, even when everyone agrees it's necessary?* *Together, we'll dive into Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's vision for moving from scarcity to abundance, and what a forward-looking, building-focused future looks like for democracy.* Even if you haven’t finished the book – or didn’t even get started – you’re welcome to join the discussion and share your thoughts. * **5:45–6:00PM** – Mingling and browsing at Backstory Bookshop * **6:00PM sharp** – Book club begins *Please arrive on time so we can start promptly and minimize interruptions.

They explore how rules designed to solve past problems now hinder our ability to build, offering a paradigm-shifting roadmap for how democracy can move from protecting and preserving to actively building a better, more prosperous future.

Guided Language Exchange Spanish & English - Only for Serious Learners

**MEETING POINT: Vallcarca station, address: Avinguda de la República Argentina 110.** **EN: After the turnstiles, take the stairs on the right to go up.** **ES:** **Después de los torniquetes, sube por las escaleras de la derecha.** **IMPORTANT: Setup time for this event takes 10-20 minutes, practice session will last 1 hour.** When I went to language exchanges in Barcelona, I always left frustrated. A lot of people were there more to socialize or flirt than to actually learn. The bar was too loud. I had to shout to be heard. People stayed in closed groups I couldn't join. And after two hours, I had only practiced the language I wanted to learn at a surface level. I didn't need another night out. I needed to actually get better in the language. So I made the format I wanted 👉: 1. **No bar**. We go for a walk or we're in a garden. Somewhere quiet, where you can hear the person next to you. 2. **Only one language pair: Spanish-English**. You sign up for your language and your level. Everyone around you is learning the same thing. 3. **In pairs**: You get a partner and we change every 15 minutes. No closed groups. Everyone talks the whole time. 4. **With a guide**: The event is structured in 3 sections where you can practice writing and speaking. We give you a topic for each part. Something real to talk about — not "where are you from?" again. 5. **Materials and setup**: Dedicated materials will be provided to you for the speaking part. Also, for the writing part, we provide a free mobile application that support your practice (the download is of course optional and you can attend the event without the application). 6. **You leave with your cheatsheets**: During the walk, you'll use tools that correct what you couldn't say, so you can review it later. You go home with a real practice session you can read back and learn from. **This is not a party. It's for people who are serious about learning and tired of noisy bars. If you're here to learn, you'll fit right in - if you're not, this probably isn't for you.** **Warning ⚠️**: * The park is uphill (that's also why there is a beautiful view!) so bring water with you and stay prepared for a short hiking. The short hike takes 10 minutes. * Intro of the event takes 10-15 minutes * So, please expect the event to be 1 hour of full practice. **Logistics 🗺️**: * We'll do the event in one of the most iconic park of Barcelona: Jardins del Turó del Putxet * The meetup point is Vallcarca metro station, Avinguda de la República Argentina * Wear comfortable shoes for a short walk uphill and water * Bring towels cause we might seat in the garden :)

Hablar es mejor (Clase de conversación y errores en español)

Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.
