Acknowledge Other Cultures!
By being a Buddy at SPEAK, you will share your language and culture, and will contribute directly to changing your city and its people. In the courses at SPEAK you get to hang out with people from different origins, united by the common wish of gather a bigger cultural sensibility and meeting new people.
It Sure Feels Great!
Believe us, it feels great to make a difference and change somebody’s world. In this experience, you will also learn: with your participants, with other Buddies, with the SPEAK team. There is nothing like sharing your livings and get to know about the experiences and culture of the people that surround you.
Be Part of Something Big!
Whether you’re from the town where you’ll be teaching or you’ve just arrived here, at SPEAK you will be part of a team that gives its best to solve the problem of sociocultural exclusion and you will teach and learn about cultural diversity, the world and its people.

Feel this magic...
The sessions 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: "Basic" and "Conversational". In the course Conversational the SPEAK Buddy only speaks in the languange he/she is teaching while in the course Basic the SPEAK Buddy might use other languages to help participants 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 course more fun and dynamic.

I signed up because I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish and mentioned Russian as a language I could teach – just in case someone wanted to learn it. But I never thought there was so much demand for it!
What I like the most about this project is that you can exchange cultural experiences and, above all, socialise and foster new friendships.
I was really missing that in Portugal, for not having my family around.

Let me say a few words of thanks.
I loved this class so much.
I have 2 more months to stay here, and I will definitely teach and share Japanese language and culture. And once I go back to Japan, I want to study to be a Japanese teacher. Thanks, I discovered my new dream”
Touko China, Japão
Buddy of Japanese, SPEAK Leiria
When I found the project I thought it was fantastic, and when I became a part of it I felt it could not get any better. There was great support from the organizers as well as from the tutors sharing their knowledge. There were also events to promote multiculturalism in a more creative and fun way.
