Al-Andalus is Kwintessential’s monthly newsletter distributed via e-mail to subscribers.
Why Al-Andalus? This refers to 8th to 15th century Moorish Spain where co-existence, cooperation and tolerance between members of different communities resulted in productive and creative cross cultural dialogue. It is with the same intention that we produce this newsletter – to foster greater cross cultural understanding and awareness between peoples.

Al-Andalus provides articles, information, service updates, news and much more on all the areas Kwintessential deal with such as cross cultural communications, language learning, translating and interpreting.
We also accept submissions by contributors who would like to share their viewpoints, experiences and knowledge regarding inter-cultural dialogue, language learning or teaching, translating and interpreting.
