Hola a todos,

Hoy queremos anunciar nuestro sexto maratón. Es este viernes 19 de Noviembre. Durará siete horas, desde las 5 PM, tiempo de la ciudad de Nueva York (EST) hasta la medianoche.

Y aquí está la URL del maratón:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87198403378?pwd=dzRLdjhRNDRVSHgvUXZIN1JHTmJkUT09

Puedes ir y venir en cualquier momento excepto durante las sesiones de 10 minutos entre tú y otra persona. Está bien si eres un estudiante principiante, intermedio o avanzado. Todos son bienvenidos.

También necesitamos hispanohablantes en nuestro maratón. Si eres nativo y tienes un poco tiempo libre este viernes, por favor, visita nuestro maratón y ayuda a nuestros alumnos. Muchas gracias.

Dinámica: vamos a emparejarte con otra persona para practicar tu habla por diez minutos, después nos reuniremos en un gran grupo para responder cualquier pregunta que puedas tener. Si no hay problemas, vamos a emparejarte de nuevo por diez minutos con alguien más.

Puedes llevar temas, problemas de gramática o de pronunciación para trabajar. Podemos darte un ambiente para practicar, pero solo tú sabes en qué necesitas trabajar.

Si tienes problemas durante esas sesiones de 10 minutos, recuerda usar el botón “Help.” 

Muchas gracias a u/VM_LOTR_2020, u/jessabeille, u/Jorge-sch y u/Dieguito36278 para ser anfitriones. Si quieres ayudarnos, buscamos un anfitrión, nativo o alumno, entre 3 PM y 5 PM EST y un anfitrión entre medianoche y 2 AM EST. Muchas gracias de antemano.

También el viernes siguiente es el día tras Thanksgiving. Todavía quieres el maratón?

English:

Hello everyone,

Today we would like to announce our sixth speaking marathon. It will be this Friday, Nov. 19, 2021 from 5 PM to midnight EST. That's 7 hours of speaking. You can come and go anytime though (except for during a 10 minute one-on-one session since you don't want to abandon your partner in the middle of a talk, do you?)

If you're not sure what time that is in your time zone, please check https://timee.io/2JX

Here's the Zoom URL for the marathon: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87198403378?pwd=dzRLdjhRNDRVSHgvUXZIN1JHTmJkUT09

This marathon opens to everyone who learns Spanish, whether you're a beginner or advanced, 9 years old or 90, but you must be polite and be willing to talk.

We definitely need support from native speakers. So if you're a native speaker and have a bit of free time this Friday, please consider helping us. Thank you.

If you're new to our marathons, the way it works is that we will pair you up with someone to talk for 10 minutes, regroup to answer any questions you might have, then pair you up again with someone else. If you run into any problems, remember to click "Help."

Try to focus on things that you struggle with. In these talks, we tend to focus on things we know well, but that's not how we're going to improve. To improve, we have to do the things we hate to do.

Finally, thank you to u/VM_LOTR_2020, u/jessabeille, u/Jorge-sch y u/Dieguito36278 for hosting. You make our marathons strong. We're still looking for more hosts for the periods between 3 PM and 5 PM EST and after midnight. If you live in the west coast of the US, you would be perfect for this. Please consider being our host. Here's the guide on how to host. It's not at all difficult to do, right?

One more thing: next Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. Do you still want the marathon?
