The Language Advisory Service (SAL) of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to announce that it has reactivated "Shall we talk?" (Parlam?), a language exchance programme which consists in putting people keen to share their Catalan in contact with people keen to learn it better, gain confidence or simply practice it.
Whether volunteers or beneficiaries, participants need only be 18 or older, have one hour available per week and commit to meeting a minimum of five times. The first encounter is always arranged through the Language Advisory Service and takes place, after the first contact, in a local bar. In fact, the first round at this meeting will be paid for by the SAL.
Raquel Guasch, councillor of language policy, remarked that this initiative is about "creating new spaces for conversation where learners can use Catalan with more confidence".
To register, interested parties should send an email to sal@conselldeformentera.cat and a first meeting will be arranged with the language partner based on availability.
