Speaking Practice -Intercambios

My students are always complaining that they don't get enough speaking practice out of class and I am always telling them that they should try to get an 'intercambio'. In Madrid and Madridteacher often have classifieds of people looking for language exchange partners. If you are a bit apprehensive about meeting up with a stranger on your own though, there are plenty of places in Madrid where you can meet large groups of foreigners and practise your English. Here are a few options:
