The group has continued to meet weekly in each other’s homes, with a regular attendance of 6–8 members, and we really enjoy and benefit from our Spanish lessons together. We are continuing to study Read and Think Spanish by McGraw Hill and find the material very informative, although the vocabulary is challenging at times. The themes introduced have led us to listen to a variety of South American folk music, both for singing and dancing. We continue with grammar work as we feel the need, with input from group members, but still feel the lack of a teacher when encountering difficulties.

We continue with our endeavours to improve our spoken Spanish, covering a variety of subjects orally. Our aim this coming year is to widen our vocabulary so that we can speak Spanish more confidently, without needing to refer to prepared material.
