The language exchange table

Source A: an original contemporary non-fiction-style account.

I found the language exchange group through a notice at the café. It met on Thursday evenings, and beginners were welcome. On my first visit, the organiser gave me a card with a simple topic: describe a favourite meal. We spent ten minutes speaking Spanish, then changed to English so that both partners could practise. My partner was studying engineering and wanted help with ordinary conversation rather than technical vocabulary.

I kept a small notebook beside my cup and wrote down three unfamiliar expressions. The organiser asked us not to interrupt every mistake, but to choose a few useful corrections afterwards. This made it easier to finish a thought without losing confidence halfway through. There was no test at the end and no requirement to attend every week. Before leaving, I agreed to bring a photograph of my hometown to the next meeting. Having something specific to talk about felt less daunting than being told simply to speak.
