TERTULIAS
- SPANISH COVERSATION GROUPS – IN CVILLE
“Tertulia” is a custom common in many parts of Latin
America. Groups of friends meet at the same time, same place,
every day, once a week, or once a month, usually at a café,
to discuss the news, politics and other issues.
A Spanish
conversation group is a kind of tertulia offering participants an
opportunity to build on their basic Spanish language skills by listening
to and speaking the language. While attendance is usually not mandatory,
the quality of these groups is often linked to the regular attendance
of its members.
