A free neighbourhood B1 group and a free-entry bar exchange have different costs and entry rules. One depends on an available enrolled place; the other requires a purchase and does not promise English throughout.

La Llacuna B1 conversation
The municipal listing describes a self-managed B1 English group at Carrer de Bolívia 49, Thursdays 18:45–19:45, 1 October–17 December 2026. Entry is free but prior enrolment and limited places apply. There is no teacher; ask whether late entry or a waiting list is possible.
Already atB1? Ask La Llacuna whether late enrolment or a waiting list is possible. BelowB1, request a more supported option rather than assuming a self-managed group will teach the basics.

Barcelona Language Exchange
Tuesday at 19:00 at Jardinet d&#x 27;Aribau, Aribau 133, and Wednesday at 19:00 at Soda Bus, Aribau 150. Both listings call admission free but require a minimum EUR 4 purchase and free registration. Languages and partners vary; check the specific calendar rather than expecting a taught English group.
Read “free” in two columns
- Admission
- A zero-price ticket can still require registration or an available place.
- Consumption
- The advertised minimum for the two bar listings isEUR4. Add your actual order and journey; it is not a teacher-led lesson fee.
Choose an English-speaking table or partner explicitly. Barcelona’s multilingual exchanges can involve several languages, while the neighbourhood group’s stated target is English.
