What is the Spanish Club?

The Spanish Club is a nonprofit student run organization that seeks to serve as a source and guide for students trying to learn the Spanish language. The goal is to give students the resources they need (such as opportunities to practice with native Spanish speakers) so that they can further their Spanish language skills.

The organization will also promote cultural awareness for the cultures of countries part of the global hispanic community such as the U.S, Spain, Mexico, and more. Club members will thus be able to improve their Spanish language skills as well as develop a better understanding of the countries that primarily use Spanish, and will therefore be more prepared professionally for graduate schools as well an increasingly interconnected global community of which Spanish plays a crucial role.

How does one learn Spanish?

It depends on what your current level is, and what your background in the language is.

On the other hand, someone with more exposure may need to simply fine tune their abilities. We have members from a diverse variety of backgrounds, so individuals at all levels will find some benefit.
