Card set
Cards that make Spanish easier to start
No mas silencio is a card set for people who want to practise Spanish without turning it into a lesson.
The cards are inspired by years of Los Habladores meetups in Utrecht. They are built for the moment when everyone wants to talk, but nobody knows the first question. Pick a card, read it out loud and let the table do the rest.
A question
¿Qué lugar en el mundo te hace sentir en casa?

Use it anywhere
Designed around real tables
At a meetup
Split a big table into smaller groups and give each group a question. It takes the pressure off and stops everyone from switching to English too quickly.
With friends
Use the cards over drinks, dinner or a walk. The questions are designed to create stories, not one-word answers.
In class
Teachers can use the cards at the start of class, for pair work, roleplay and speaking practice at the end.
FAQ
Good to know
Is this only for advanced speakers?
No. The cards are useful for mixed levels. Beginners can answer briefly, advanced speakers can say more and native speakers can help when someone gets stuck.
Why cards instead of a normal list of questions?
Cards change the energy at the table. People pick, pass, react and laugh. It feels more like a game and less like homework.
Are the cards ready to buy?
Not yet. We are still working on the questions, categories and look. Instagram is where we show how that is going.
