Speaking English in my town's pub. Recently my wife told me about a local pub which, in his intention to promotion itself, has come out with the idea of setting two hours a week in order that the costumers can speak only in English at the pub. I think is a good idea, but the hours that they have chosen are on Tuesdays from eight to ten, which are bad hours for me. I hope the experience succeed and the owner broad up the time spent in this issue. I guess that this is a common way to learn English in many other countries, and in many other towns here in Spain. I hope there are native English speakers too, and probably there will be some because there are several English schools here and each one has in their staff it’s own native teacher. I wonder if the rulers of the pub are interested in learning English themselves or they are only interested on the business. And I also would like to know if the fact of consuming one beer, coffee, etc. gives you the right to speak to the waitress, or any other right as far as speaking English is concerned. I have the purpose to gather more information about this issue before doing the effort to attend at this pub, because I know the place many years ago but the regency is completely new and I don’t want to go there in order to practise my speaking and don’t have the chance to say anything but “hello, good night, one beer please, how much is it, here you are, and good bye”. Thanks for reading and correcting me.

Thank you Cesar. I take note of that and make myself an idea of how that experience could be. I Hope to visit the pub at that time and let's see what happen. Thank you very much for your coment. Gracias compañero, un saludo desde cerca de Bilbao.

Hi Fidel, I think is positive to have a meeting point in your city where speak english and meet people with the same interests. Here in Palencia we have the Oxford pub Experience, there are scheduled a couple of times per week when the english students meet and chat, share experiences.. I never was, but I know that some of the Americans Palencia basket players habitually go, and it enriches the group, as you noted, having native people. Of course not whole bar is speaking English just a couple of groups, but there is no problem on join them and listen or participate... People says its a good issue to correct mistakes, ask doubts.... depends on the level you have of course.... Un saludo
