Spanglish Book Club February 21, 4:00 p. m. to 7:00 p. m.Reserva Ecolgica Costanera Sur Price is AR$$20,000, with limited spaces If you still inhabit that linguistic no-mans land between Spanish and English, The Argies Spanglish Book Club might be a good match. An intimate and literary way to experience Buenos Aires, the club focuses on Argentine literature. The February experience is based on Gabriela Cabezn Cmara’s The Adventures of China Iron, and this time the location is Reserva Ecolgica in Costanera Sur, in a picnic + debate format. The gathering aims to be a space where people whose native language is not Spanish can still sit down to discuss, better understand Argentine culture, meet people, and feel comfortable joining the conversation. A basic or intermediate (not perfect) level of Spanish communication skills is required. The conversation moves between both languages, depending on what each person needs to express themselves and understand. The idea is to try, to listen, to ask, and to participate. A reading guide with cultural context and references is available in both Spanish and English. Collaborative puzzle gathering February 22Geek Out! Club (Arvalo 2061) The Geek Out! Club in Palermo is hosting a one-afternoon, collaborative gathering to put together a 9000 pieces puzzle featuring fantastic creatures.
