From Spanish conversation through Latin American books and films

**Spanish conversation through Latin American books and films. Level B1+.** **This is not a language exchange and not a grammar class.** Every session we read a short story or watch a film, and then we talk about it —in Spanish, for real, about something worth discussing. **De qué va esto** Llegas a un punto en que entiendes casi todo, te defiendes en el bar, y aun así sientes que hablas en español traduciendo desde tu cabeza. Ese techo no se rompe repasando el subjuntivo otra vez, sino poniéndonos a prueba, practicándolo más, aprendiendo cosas nuevas y debatiéndolas. Por eso aquí no partimos de un manual, sino de un cuento de Mariana Enríquez o de una película de Lucrecia Martel. Leemos, vemos, discutimos, nos peleamos un poco, aprendemos vocabulario nuevo, expresiones, cultura general, historia. **Qué hacemos en cada encuentro** Un cuento corto o una película, avisada con tiempo para que llegues con ella leída o vista. Una conversación guiada de una hora larga, en español. Y una capa de contexto: quién escribió eso, desde dónde, qué estaba pasando en su país. Alternamos literatura y cine, así que también entra el español de Argentina, México, Chile o Colombia, que es justo lo que descoloca a quien aprendió en España. **Para quién es** Nivel B1 en adelante. Si necesitas subtítulos en tu idioma para seguir una conversación, todavía no es tu momento, vuelve en unos meses y te esperamos. No hace falta haber estudiado literatura ni cine. Hace falta tener ganas de opinar. **Quién lo organiza** Soy Miryam Hache, escritora argentina afincada en Barcelona. Autora de la novela La belleza del desastre (Jekyll & Jill, 2026). Licenciada en Letras y en Cine, y durante cuatro años dirigí una revista de crítica de cine y literatura y di clases de español durante años. Soy alguien que se dedica a los libros y al cine. **Sessions run entirely in Spanish. Everyone is welcome —bring an opinion and a pen and notebook if you want.** +Price: 15 euro per session or 49 per month.
