Regular English Conversation Meeting with UG Students?

[smithchuck]

I signed up for CAADI a couple of weeks ago. If you volunteer to help (e.g., with English conversation) for 3 hours per week, you can use the CAADI resources for as many hours as you like. You register and then tell them when you want to "work." So far, my sessions speaking English with locals has been very enjoyable. I haven't gotten up the courage to inflict my poor Spanish on them yet, but I intend to soon.

Easiest way to get there: walk uphill on Calle del Sol (to the east side of the Templo de la Compañía de Jesús) until the road dead-ends. The building to the right of the red one at the dead end is pale blue (see attached photo--it's to the right of the red building, hiding behind the tree). Walk in that door and up a flight or two of stairs and you'll see a big sign on the wall that says CAADI. Turn left and check in at the welcome desk, & tell them you'd like to volunteer. I spoke to a very pleasant guy who wears glasses named Jasiel, who sits farther back in the room. (If you leave CAADI after 5pm, the now-downstairs door will be closed, and you'll have to go further upstairs and then down some callejones to get back to Calle del Sol, but it's marked and not hard to find the way.)
