La Mesa Española (The Spanish Table) is a social group that collects each week for an evening of practicing the Spanish language. Our group attracts the widest range of people interested in speaking Spanish, from native speakers to rank beginners. There is never a charge - attendance is completely free. Drop in when you can, leave when you wish. Everyone is welcome, and we hope you will join us soon!
La Mesa Española meets on Mondays at Amazon Grill, 5114 Kirby near Bissonnet, a few blocks south of the Southwest Freeway, 713-522-5888 (map). Look for the table with a set of miniature flags from all the Spanish speaking countries. General Spanish conversation starts at 8:00pm, and runs until near 10:00pm, with people coming and going as they wish. Amazon Grill stops serving food at 9:00pm.
For students with more time, there is a grammar study from 7:00pm to 8:00pm before conversation. The grammar study is in English with exercises in Spanish. Lately we have been working our way through the book Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Sentence Builder by Gilda Nissenberg. This book is available new online for about $7 plus shipping. It includes complete answers to all exercises, making it great for self-study. Grammar students are welcome to join us at any time. Each week is relatively independent of preceeding weeks, and you can share a book with another student until you want to buy your own.
