It does surprise me how many English people live here in Spain and make no effort to learn the language. Yes, I admit, it is not always easy but the Spanish race are generally understanding and really appreciate it if you try a little Spanish – it really doesn’t matter if its not 100% grammatically correct or prounced not quite right – its the fact that you are trying that counts…
Well now you have no excuse – every Friday at 10.30am (as long as its not a fiesta), the Foreign Residents association of Manilva are running a language exchange programme and coffee morning at the bar H2O, located in Puerto de la Duquesa.
Many people do have a basic understanding of Spanish but are not confident enough to use it so this is the perfect opportunity to practice in an informal, friendly, enviroment – plus there’s always the added advantage of making some new friends..
