15th July. Spanish gathering at Culture Club

Dear Friend of the Society,

A reminder that our next Get Together at CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk) , 15 Elgin Street, Soho, Central (map attached), will take place this coming Wednesday, the 15th, from 7.00 p.m. onwards (early attendance appreciated). You are all very welcome to attend.

Those who are considering coming for the first time, you will find that it is an ideal opportunity to practise your oral Spanish in a friendly and welcoming environment. This time we are fortunate in having Mohamed giving a talk. I'll copy some of his letter to me, so that you can appreciate that it should be an interesting talk -

I will take your advice and keep my presentation a presentation. The topic will be "Herramientas sociales virtuales - lo que hay hoy por la red y una explicacion sencilla de que carajo es el 'poke'". Feel free to omit the "carajo" part of the title if we do not wish to offend cultured attendees. I will talk about the many social networking websites out there, the ones that the Spanish and south Americans tend to prefer, the type of content, pictures, options, all with a touch of humour. It will have a slight element of ridicule over the degradation of our methods of communication and an element of melancholy toward the more traditional and meaningful means such as writing letters or posting photos. It will be informative and entertaining, hopefully. I also intend on bringing a white board for the brief introduction regarding my accent and how it compares with the Spanish accent. -

Follow that!

I hope as many of you as possible can come in order to enjoy the talk, practise your Spanish, and have snacks on the house( courtesy of the supportive owner of CultureClub, Lennon) as well as drinks at happy hour prices, after the first. There is no need to register - just turn up with the desire to communicate in Spanish.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs
