Charleston Spanish Conversation Group

We would like to bring together like-minded individuals who want to learn or improve their Spanish speaking skills as we have fun and share the Latin Heritage.

Anyone who would like to learn Spanish, or has previous knowledge of the language is welcome to attend. There are no fees.

If you are a native Spanish speaker and would like an opportunity to practice your mother tongue, feel free to join us.

Bonjour Song

Hello songs are a wonderful way to help children who are learning a foreign language. It's also nice for children to always sing the same song at the beginning of a class. Hello songs are great for this.
The song below is called "Bonjour". It's a French hello song written and sung by Alain Le Lait. Sit back and enjoy the song by clicking the MP3 below. You can read along with the lyrics in French, followed by an English translation by Alain...
