Practice Your Spanish 

Want to polish up your rusty Spanish? Strengthen your conversational skills? The Spanish Club, which meets every Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:30 pm ET, is just the ticket.

As an additional skill-building boost, participants have the opportunity to write two to four paragraphs in Spanish to read to fellow participants.  

If you’ve ever hoped to speak more Spanish, September 15 through to October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month– and a perfect time to begin.
