Feel this magic...
The classes are taken on an informal environment, where learning the basics of the language is as important as gaining insight into the richness of the culture. Because the experience & culture exchange is a key part of the experience we try to create groups as diverse as possible.
There are two different levels of SPEAK courses: "from scratch" and "with basis". In the course with basis the SPEAK Buddy only speaks in the languange he/she is teaching while in the course from scratch the SPEAK Buddy might use other languages to help students learning the basics.
Even the least experienced person can teach: you can count with the support from the SPEAK team, but your personal touch and personality make the difference, feel free to add what you think will make the class more fun and dynamic.

O SPEAK, criado em Leiria por cidadãos portugueses e de origem estrangeira residentes na cidade, parece funcionar. Os resultados da medição de impacto social são animadores e, por exemplo, num período de quatro meses, os participantes imigrantes do SPEAK Leiria aumentaram, em média, 15% a sensação de pertença à cidade onde vivem. Outro exemplo interessante é o facto da sensação de existência de uma barreira linguística, entre participantes

Volunteer teachers are the people who live in our cities, but who belong to the planet Earth. There are volunteer teachers everywhere, from Togo to Norway and from China to the United States. At SPEAK they share their knowledge of their language and culture and, in so doing, help us to change and change our cities.
Volunteer teachers are selected based on their motivations, responsibilities and levels of commitment. Linguistic or pedagogical skills are not assessed. They are usually native speakers, or at least proficient in the language they are teaching. There is also a training program to improve your teaching skills at SPEAK.
