Conversational Spanish

Status:Active, open to new members
When: Fortnightly on Tuesday afternoons 2:00 PM-4:00 PM
Once a fortnight
Venue: Members own home

We have been meeting for nearly twenty years. Initially we had a tutor but unfortunately she died so we are now much more of a self help Group

Spanish is a lovely language and many of the words are similar to English or French. We meet every two weeks on a Tuesday afternoon. We begin each session reading a prepared text on a specific topic. These have recently included our favourite places and a summer of sport. We then try to discuss the subjects ad-lib to practice our vocabularies.  At the moment we read a passage on a selected topic and translate it, before we have well deserved refreshments.

Each session lasts about an hour and a half. This is followed by a welcome cup of tea and a chat- in English!

We have room for new members who have a working knowledge of Spanish.
