<br />
'Walk the talk' is a walking group for non native English speaking adults to practise their English. Topics will be chosen for each walk and you will be given a language sheet with some ideas to help you with conversation about that topic. Walks are 100% English! Topics will be a B1/B2 level (you can check your level <a href="http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/test-your-english/" target="_blank">here</a>). The walks are aimed at B1/B2 levels but any level is welcome.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Why</span> walk and talk?</u></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;"><u><br /></u></span>
Basically to get out of the classroom, away from text books and whiteboards and just practise all the English you have been learning. It is also really good for you, mind and body. Look <a href="http://walkthetalkhuesca.blogspot.com.es/p/why-walk.html" target="_blank">here</a> for lots of reasons why.<br />

<br />
We will be walking about 6km each walk so you need to have an average level of fitness. The routes are chosen to be in quiet areas, with nature so that walking and talking will be a comfortable experienceCathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12646410756473914679noreply@blogger.com0
