TALKTIME is a multilingual offspring of the "cafe philosophiques" that started in Paris in 1992. By holding public debates over thought-provoking topics TALKTIME promotes effective communication in foreign languages in the hope of contributing to the integration of Argentina in a globalized world. During their debates talktimers try to create an atmosphere of interest and expectation and offer the opportunity to talk in eight different languages. While participating in a positive environment talktimers refine communication skills in non native tongues. Along the way, by becoming facilitators, they learn leadership skills. Talktimers meet regularly in different cafes and restaurants (more than a hundred debates per week) to improve the arts of listening, sharing and delivering in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Esperanto and Spanish for foreigners. Talktimes are free of charge. Please check the site www.talktime.com.ar and turn up at the next meeting.
