Spanish Corner

The Spanish Corner is a group for students and staff who would like to practise and improve their Spanish through conversations and discussions on certain topics in Spanish. Our idea is that we can share and spread Spanish and Hispanic culture and bring you fun in your study of Spanish, completely free of charge.

El Rincón Español es un grupo por los estudiantes que quieren mejorar su aprendizaje de español. La forma de este grupo es por conversaciones y discusiones sobre ciertos temas en español.
