Welcome to the International Café
Welcome to the International Café
your home away from home where informal discussions, entertaining games, and global sharing all come together in one location!
Come in and enjoy a cup of cappuccino -- or a cool soft drink --while you visit with other members of the Spanishdict. community!
The International Café is open 24/7 and the fun never ends!
Visitors to International Café are encouraged to ask questions (What is your favourite colour?), share personal comments (I am happiest when I am with family and friends.) , cite one of their favourite lines from a book or film (Mirror, mirror, on the wall who's the fairest of them all?), challenge others to a game (Can you name 3 world capitals that begin with the letter A?), or simply use their wit to entertain others (Love me love my pets!)
Why not just say hello when you come in to study or visit your friends?
Please add photos to your posts , personal or any picture at all, any participation is appreciated ![]()
Guidelines for International Café are easy to follow:
Questions and comments should be general in nature and designed to promote discussions.
Vocabulary used should be non-technical, easy to understand, and not require excessive use of reference materials.
Each post should be any length at all, jeje-
Visitors may search for, and reply to, any of the previous posts in the thread. Feel free to jump in and post a new comment at any time.
General discussions about the Spanish language (Analyzing Language or Grammar, Learning Spanish, etc.) should still be posted as separate threads in Vocabulary and Grammar.
This is not a grammar or vocabulary or even game thread, so, if you wish, you can even use chat talk here.
No corrections will be made, so you can express yourself freely in both English and Spanish, just write as you wish and what you wish.
This thread does require friendliness and no rude language will be allowed

Even though I don't participate very often in this thread, I'm going to miss it.
It's nice reading about what's going on in our little community.
It was a great idea from the beginning, having our own space to share under a
personal perspective, a feelness of closeness, a sense of friendship, a smile to
share, and a few tears too.
I guess the administrators or owners of this forum aren't interested in our opinion.
They never asked if we wanted to keep this thread or not.
I don't see what's wrong with this thread either.
But maybe I'm wrong.
I'll miss The International Café.
But it's against the rules!
Oh boy!
Another great thread comes to end :(
Too bad...
Hola de nuevo de Nueva Zelanda
¡Tanto tiempo Heidita! jeje Y ¿has traído contigo nuestro amiguito Gekko?

For me this is like coming home, amigos.
he llegado a casa, amigos, espero que todo vaya bien .

I'm back ...

Not much free time these days, but lots of interest. Good to see many old friends here.
I'm so happy you and some others are back....xoxoxo

Hahaha! Now this should be interesting.... very interesting!! Some of the "fights" on here were better than following a soap opera!
I haven't actively participated on either forum (ie SD or SH) for a couple of years now, but I think I might join back in with some of the games and fun threads. I'll leave the grammar to the experts ![]()
Actually. I thought one of the reasons why there was a mass exodus from here around 5 years ago was because the SD owners banned threads such as this - ie social chit chat threads. The reasons being they just wanted language learning threads.
Esperemos a ver!
Hola a todos desde Argentina!!!!!!!!!!! Me traen muy buenos recuerdos...
Heidi buena suerte con este emprendimiento. Me encanta ir a tomar un cortadito liviano de vez en cuenta, con poco café y un edulcorante. Bueno puede ir acompañado por una media luna rellena y un vaso enorme de agua muy fría con mucho gas . Me encantan las burbujas que salpican mi nariz desde el vaso. Mientras se pueda y el estómago aguante..............
I hope this café cooks with gas. SD is starting to again like in the "good old days".

Hola todos it's Marshall I have not been around in a long time. I heard the other forum is closing, and some people are coming back here... Heidita for example....So many sad things have happened to some of my old forum friends. I will try to visit more often now. Since my last visit a long time ago, I now have Multiple Myeloma, a blood and bone marrow cancer. I had a stem cell transplant and now in remission and doing well. I have missed my friends a lot especially from the other forum that is closing. I will try to participate here as much as possible. Your friend, Marshall

Buenos días amigos, este es mi café, así que ahora es vuestro café para charlar, decir hola, o lo que sea.
Estamos aquí para quedarnos, arriba tenéis a Kiwi, una amiga muy valiosa ![]()
Hi amigos, this is my café and you are all invited to join us to have a coffee, just say hi or whatever you wish to do, post a photo if you wish.
En Madrid estamos celebrando el "World Pride" así que todo tiene muchos coloringos.
