Do I need 'a' here?

[xchic]

Come & enjoy a drink, have a chat, meet new friends & practice speaking English.
Venga y disfrute de una copa, charlar, conocer (a) nuevos amigos y practicar el inglés.

I'm 99% sure that I do

my translation:

*Venga y disfrute una copa/bebida/trago, charle, conozca nuevos amigos y practique (a) hablar inglés.

**Come and enjoy of/from our drinks, (come to) chat to/with new friends and practice speaking English.

Do I need it with mine?

I wanted to contrast what you said in English with what you said in Spanish, they are different.

That "a" would be ok on a similar context but not exactly...

See the difference in my English version of your Spanish version?

@xchic: I think I'd omit it in daily speech, but I guess I'd write it.

Chileno underlined a small grammar fault:

Venga a disfrutar de una copa, charlar, etc.

or

Venga y disfrute de una copa, charle, etc.

So all in the subjunctive?

One day I'll get to grips with the subjunctive


Thanks

OK - now I give up for today - it's obviously NOT a good day



That's what I meant

I'm so much better when I just get on with it - if I try to think about what the grammatical term is I start to over think & confuse myself.


I still hate the subjunctive though.

Yo también! Siempre cuando pienso mucho de la gramática me pongo confundido

I still hate the subjunctive though.. Te siento
