Beginners welcome

First time trying Languages? Start here.

Never played languages before? You do not need any experience, and you do not need to know anyone. About once a month we run a beginner languages session in Barcelona where you can learn the basics and get started in a friendly, no-pressure setting.

Learn the basics as a beginner

At our beginner languages sessions you are shown how it works and coached through it the first time, at your own pace.

Everyone is in the same boat

Nobody expects you to be good. Most people at a beginner session are new too, so there is nothing to feel shy about.

Meet people who already play

You will be playing alongside people who already do languages, so you leave with new friends and an easy way into the regular sessions.

Join the next beginner session

Leave your email and we will tell you when the next beginner session is on. You may also hear about beginner sessions for our other sports, so you can try something new.
