TERTULIAS EN NUBA

Como sabéis el 26 diciembre hubo un concurso de preguntas en Nuba.

Más adelante habrá tertulias de café allí también.

Sin embargo, quisiera llamar la atención a la necesidad de poder ofrecer clases de inglés.

Este mes en la revista MUY INTERESANTE pone que el aprendizaje de un idioma es un ejercicio muy bueno para la memoria en los mayores de sesenta años.

ASEDOW empezó su actividad intentando interesar a las autoridades de la zona en ceder algunos espacios públicos como colegios en desuso para ofrecer clases de inglés de alta calidad y bajo precio.

PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ENTERPRISE

As you know we have celebrated the pub quiz in Nuba.

We will also have coffee mornings or afternoons there in the near future.

However, the real need I would like to address is the need for public facilities to be used to organise classes.

In the magazine MUY INTERESANTE this month it says that language learning is a wonderful memory exercise for the over sixties.

ASEDOW began its activity by trying to interest local authorities to use our public spaces and offer high quality low cost classes to young and old alike.

VERY INTERESTING EVENT

We now have some copies of The Collected Works of Oscar Wilde.

This means that a joint initiative between ASEDOW and La Bibloteca Central of San Sebastán de los Reyes to do shared readings of his literature can go ahead.

Many of you have invested a lot of time and money in learning English. It is a natural step forward to start enjoying English literature and your guide will be Oscar Wilde. He will take you by the hand and introduce you to the magical world of his children's stories, to the homes of the élite and to the darkness of prison life.

Come to the presentation to learn more if you think you would like to sign up.

This will be on the 17th January at 19h30 in la Biblioteca Central, San Sebastián de los Reyes.

More news

ASEDOW and CANDAS, the mountaineering association based in Alcobendas, hope to be of mutual help. English is an essential part of their equipment on their expeditions abroad and we will keep it in good shape.
For a start, here's a challenge.

UPDATE

It is a very happy coincidence that there is a reading group at the local library and they will be discussing Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray. Raquel, who is in charge of the group, has asked us to do a presentation of ASEDOW . They would like to know why we named the association after the Dublin born writer.We will do so with great pleasure and hope we can induce some of you to come to shared readings of his works in English.
The presentation will be at la Biblioteca Central San Sebastián de los Reyes on January 17th at 19.30h.

Our Christmas pub quiz won't be on the 9th December as programmed, due to a little accident but it is ready and waiting.
