Delve into Yesterday's Adventures

“¿Qué hiciste ayer?”

Peek into Tomorrow's Plans

“¿Qué vas a hacer mañana?”

(What are you going to do tomorrow?)

Bond Over the Shared Journey of Learning

This question breaks the ice and shows you're fellow language learners!  Perhaps they have tips or funny stories from their own learning journey.


Discover Weekend Warriors

“¿Qué te gusta hacer los fines de semana?”

Food: The Universal Language

“¿Cuál es tu comida favorita?”

(What's your favorite food?)

Food is a sure fire conversation starter!  Sharing your love for hot dogs (¡con mucho queso!) or discovering their favourite local dish can lead to recommendations and restaurant visits.


Unleash the Power of Pets

Pets are paw-some conversation starters!   Sharing stories and pictures of your furry (or feathery) friends is a guaranteed way to bond.


A Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane

Music is a universal language!  Sharing your love for pop or rock (¡fan de Enrique Iglesias!) can lead to discovering new artists and creating a shared playlist.


Cooking Up a Conversation

Dream Big, Chat Big

“¿Cómo crees que será tu vida en 5 años?”
