For ¡Charlemos! to work, participants need to have sufficient listening comprehension to sustain a conversation. Your speaking ability is less important and is something that will improve by practicing with us. But if you can’t understand the other person, the process of practicing together won’t work.

So you have a choice:

You can decide to spend more time increasing your vocabulary and listening skills and come back in a few months. You might want to work with a teacher but the core thing is to improve your ability to understand spoken – not written – Spanish.

Or, if you are really keen to join us and think that this assessment has not accurately assessed your ability, you can apply to join ¡Charlemos! and have a 30 minute one-on-one conversation with me – in English and Spanish – and allow me to determine your readiness.
