What we’re about
Want to practise your Spanish and enjoy hiking? Then this is the group for you! Come and experience an educational hike through the picturesque South East countryside whilst practising your Spanish. Whatever your language level or fitness level, it’ll be a great opportunity to speak with other Spanish learners and explore the scenic landscape of South East.
¡Vamos! Spanish Hikes are for beginner to experienced hikers who want to develop their Spanish language skills and explore the South East countryside. You will connect with other language learners and myself in a supportive and friendly environment. As we collectively encourage one another in our Spanish language learning journey which will help you individually to progress to a higher level. The hikes will range from 5 miles to 10 miles and will happen on either Saturday or Sunday. They will be led by Adriana and will happen with a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 attendees. After your hike, you would have accomplished the task of speaking Spanish while having enjoyed the outdoors. Leaving you, motivated and inspired to continue not only your Spanish learning journey but keeping fit and active.
A bit about me! ¡Un poco sobre mi!

Details on what will happen on the hike!
We will start the hike by introducing ourselves and then I will split the group into their requested levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). You will then be able to converse with people in Spanish as we hike. Prior to the event you will receive a weekly task that will include a question. You will have to prepare an answer to the question in as much detail as you can. Then, during our lunch break, we will discuss the weekly task and you will have the chance to share your answer with the group or in partners. If you did not manage to complete the task, do not worry! you can still participate and ask fellow attendees about their answers. Whatever your language level, you can always ask for help from Adriana.
