El Día E!

¡Hola a todos! On the heels of this year's Día del Libro celebration, comes El Día E or El Día del Español! In the cultural calendar of Instituto Cervantes de Manila, the three main events prepared each year are Día del Libro in April, El Día E in June and Película Spanish Filmfest in October.

El Día E is going to be a grand celebration of the Spanish language, it's going to be held on June 19, Saturday. Last year was the first time Instituto Cervantes mounted El Día E, with Manila having been chosen as one of the 70 centers all over the world (along with Tokyo, Paris, Madrid etc). El Día E is a festivity that marks the role of Spanish, as a living language, in the world today. There is going to be lots of performances, Spanish food, juegas del español, interactive exhibits and a whole lot more.

To kick-start the festivities, similar to last year, we're asking everyone to tell us ¿cuál es tu palabra favorita? in a short video and we'll upload it to www.eldiae.es for the entire world to see. Come on Cultura en Manila fans, help the Cultura team put Instituto Cervantes de Manila on the map by being one of the most active centers. So far we have 5 videos on our youtube account. Let us know, tell us your favorite Spanish word with a short reason why you like it--that's all there is to it. Think culture, think Spanish.
