During ~6 years of my life I worked in a warehouse in Scotland, picked apples in Germany and taught English in Colombia, all for the sake of language learning and seeking a bit of an adventure. At the age of 41, settled with wife and children in Budapest as I am now, my Spanish and German are getting rustier with each year. It's time to take action. I kind of also miss the multicultural environment I was living in while working abroad. Therefore I would like to meet native speakers of Spanish and German who would like to practise their English (or Hungarian, god forbid) in the form of a quid pro quo conversation over a nice cup of coffee or beer. My idea would be to get together once a week after work somewhere in the city but a more formal teaching of English (grammar, etc.) is also viable on my part.

Learning the language
The apples
The locals kept their distance, it was a lonely language learning project...
Learning the language
The people and their happiness despite their daily life difficulties
The lack of security on the streets
Learning the language
the people, the landscape and the fish&chips
what else: the rain
