SPANISH CONVERSATION 2
A second group meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays from 1400 - 1600 at St Gregory's Church Hall, Lydiate. Meetings resume on 25th September 2008. Please phone Mike Stephens if you would like to join this group

As the leader of one of the two parallel groups of Continuation Spanish, (the more recently formed one and therefore the one with room for more people), I wonder how long beginners remain beginners, and whether any would care to step up eventually ( from Mike)

If you are wondering about the standard, here are a few remarks. No two people are at the same level, so I try not to put anyone on the spot by asking direct questions. I prefer instead to ask a question generally and individuals may answer if they wish. You can therefore say as much or as little as you like. No pressure! How easily can you understand the following?   

Nos reunimos el segundo y el cuarto jueves del mes en una dependencia de la iglesia católica de San Gregorio en Maghull (conocida localmente como Saint Greg's). Utilizamos artículos de interés corriente o popular tomados del internet, o hablamos de nuestras actividades sociales o de nuestras vacaciones. De vez en cuando hago preguntas estúpidas tales como: ¿cuáles son las diferencias entre...Suiza y Holanda, Inglaterra y Escocia, Tony Blair y Gordon Brown?       Are you still reading?  If so, ¡hasta la vista!
