Café Tertulia

Posted on March 11, 2015 by Susan Mraz

As we did with great success last year, we are organizing the Cafe Tertulia again for the Spring semester. This is a excellent opportunity for Spanish learners on campus to practice their linguistic skills in a series of conversations focus on a range of current topics. The hour-long tertulia starts with a brief presentation on a current topic related to a different country in the Hispanic world, followed by lively and informal discussion.

This is the schedule for this semester’s Cafe Tertulia. Each session will take place at the Spanish Resource Center, from 11 am – noon. Light refreshments will be served.

Wednesday, March 25 – Costa Rica

Wednesday, April 1 – El Salvador

Wednesday, April 8 – Spain

Wednesday, April 15 – TBD

Tuesday, April 28 – Colombia

Mark Schafer is co-coordinating the Café Tertulia. He can be contacted at Mark.Schafer@umb.eduor 617 287-7549. His office is M-4-610.
