Every Thursday* from 19:30 to 21h, at O'Donnel's Irish Pub, c/ Barcelo 1. Metro Tribunal.

Welcome to Thursday's Tertulia webpage. Here you will find some general information about the Tertulia:

Tertulia's main purpose is to have a good time... in English, and is open to discuss any topic** proposed by the attendants.

There is no prerequisite to attend the Tertulia, and no need to advise in advance, just come and join us. Of course is free of charge, and as in most of Pubs is up to you to order or not something there even it's proper to do it :-).

The Tertulia is somehow self-organized; We just sit around a table that fits the size of the group and try to maintain a single conversation for the whole group in English. Most of us agreed that depending on the number of participants some form of intervention's order control could be advisable, anyway the possibilty for a less formal alternative group is always open and welcome.

Native English speakers are especially wellcome, but most of us are not native English speakers (our English levels range from low intermediate to medium-high intermediate).

To meet us, see draft map? below or simply ask in the Pub for the Tertulia in English. Some of us try to be on time, but if necessary please take a seat in one of the tables while waiting for more people to join.

In Tertulia's support,

Ignacio

* It`s up to you folks anyway, but even so, unfortunately no formal Tertulia is expected probably at holidays and holidays' eves.

**As default topic it sometimes ends up taking advantage of last topics discussed at Philomadrid Pub Philosophy meetings (more info: http://philomadrid.blogspot.com/ ) that some of us also attend regularly. Philomadrid meetings are highly recommended. Lawrence does a very good work there.

As source of inspiration, if needed, see last topics' essays in Philomadrid's webpage: http://philomadrid.blogspot.com/ but, don't even think about being afraid for the philosophic issues. No one of us has a degree in philosophy or similar, so you can imagine...

Note: Exceptionally, when O'Donnel's is not available for the tertulia we will move that Thursday to nearby Triskel Irish Pub in c /San Vicente Ferrer 3 (see it down-left in the map bellow).
