One of the guys recommended this free app today (this isn't sponsored). Every time you turn your phone on you get either 5 words to add to your vocabulary or to practice. A way to get a micro lesson. If you're in a hurry you can bypass it.

Are there any phrases/words (either in English or Spanish) that you think we need to cover in this workshop that I´m planning to talk about going to the Hairdressers?

At a Study Buddy Workshop, we provide the vocabulary you need on a topic so you are not dependent on having prior knowledge.

We meet most Saturdays 10:00 -12:00
English not your first language? Some materials can be in the language you need with a week´s notice.

¿Hay alguna frase o palabra (en inglés o español) que creas que deberíamos tratar en este taller sobre ir a la peluquería?

En un taller de estudio en grupo, te proporcionamos el vocabulario que necesitas sobre el tema, así que no dependes de conocimientos previos.

Nos reunimos casi todos los sábados de 10:00 a 12:00. ¿El inglés no es tu lengua materna? Algunos materiales pueden estar disponibles en el idioma que necesites con una semana de antelación.

When you´re in Spain, try doing this at the till. The cashiers will appreciate your intentions, and many will help if you´ve mispronounced it. A little free micro-lesson. And hey, got it wrong? No problem, you tried and you´re more likely to get it right next time.
As they say here, "poco a poco"
