¿Por qué aprendes idiomas tan lento? (Y cómo solucionarlo)

¿Por qué aprendes idiomas tan lento? (Y cómo solucionarlo)

From ¿Por qué aprendes idiomas tan lento? (Y cómo solucionarlo)

Cuando me mudé a Barcelona, trabajaba muchas horas y aun así no encontraba con quién practicar español de verdad. Probé cursos. Probé Duolingo y Babbel. Todos me daban la misma sensación: ejercicios sin gracia sobre temas que no me interesaban, completamente desconectados de mi vida real. Así que me inventé mi propio método. Y funcionó. Aprendí español en 4 meses, y ahora estoy acelerando con el francés, no en un aula, sino integrando el idioma en mi día a día. Justo eso es lo que voy a compartir en esta sesión gratuita de una hora. **Lo que te llevarás:** * Por qué los métodos tradicionales te dejan estancado en el nivel intermedio * Lo único que de verdad marca la diferencia (y no es más clases particulares) * Prácticas diarias que puedes empezar mañana, pensadas para tu vida, no para un libro de texto **¿Para quién es esto?** * Llevas tiempo aprendiendo un idioma pero te has quedado atascado entre el A2 y el B2 * Quieres usar el idioma de verdad, no pasarte años persiguiendo la perfección * Estás abierto a replantearte cómo aprendes **Logística:** Nos vemos en SandwiChez para tomar un café todos juntos y hablar de nuestra experiencia con los idiomas.

Impact of Urban Heat on Migrant Communities in Europe

Impact of Urban Heat on Migrant Communities in Europe

Sat, Jul 11, 3:00 PM
From Let's talk about climate change
4.8

As we experience unprecedented heat this summer, have you ever wondered how some of the cities most vulnerable people are doing? Migrants across European cities are highly vulnerable to heatwaves and higher temperatures due to structural inequalities and historical exclusion - for example, they might be working in jobs that require them to be exposed more to the heat such as in construction, food delivery, etc; or live in housing that are less heat-prepared. In this session, we will hear from Fizza, a PhD Researcher at ICTA-UAB, about her research using feminist and participatory methods, that seeks to understand how urban heat impacts every day wellbeing of migrants from the Global Majority. Fizza will share findings from the workshops in Athens, Greece with migrant communities, bringing forth perspectives from women and queer migrants who are impacted disproportionately. As a group, we will also discuss how these heat impacts translate to the context of Barcelona and how community knowledge can help build more just, inclusive and heat-resilient cities. **We kindly ask for a donation to help cover the groups' meet-up annual subscription of 183.26 euros and support the venue. Please feel free to give according to your ability, up to 5 euros. We especially welcome those living on minimum means to enjoy the event for free.** **More about the speaker: Fizza** Fizza is working at the intersection of climate justice, urban and feminist geography and planning. She started her career as an architect in Pakistan and received a double Master's in international cooperation and urban development from Germany and Spain. Her work and engagement in the development sector motivated her to shift towards community-driven approaches, bringing forth non-western narratives grounded in decolonial epistemologies. **More about the venue: The Permaculture Barcelona Hub** Launched by this event's co-host and permaculture educator Alfred Decker as a dedicated space where people can come together to learn permaculture design, experience urban ecology, connect with local activists and communities, and explore the deeper questions about where the international permaculture movement needs to go next. The Hub is not just another course venue. It is a meeting point — between the local and the global, between nature and the built environment, between traditional permaculture theory and emerging practices, between what permaculture has been and to where it can evolve. The world is changing faster than our landscapes. To meet the challenges of tomorrow, we don't only need more gardens—we need a revolution in how we live, relate, and organize within our urban centres. The Hub will be a node in the network for developing a deep adaptation to the polycrisis we are living in.
