What Spanish will I learn?
Spanish descriptions of the flavours and reactions and the pronunciation.
What if I am an early intermediate level speaker?
You can still gain from the experience if you have an early intermediate level (B1). We will give you a chance to practise more conversation skills and speak with others with a higher level. Simply indicate this in reply to the welcome email you receive.
What if I am an upper intermediate or advanced level speaker?
This is not designed to provide opportunity for the practise of progression of those at an upper intermediate or advanced level (B2 or C1, C2) so it probably isn’t ideal for you. You are welcome to attend if you are happy to speak slowly and support those with a lower level of Spanish. You will primarily enjoy the mezcal tasting itself and the Spanish speaking atmosphere.
