If you're a Spanish language learner who wants to practice speaking Spanish, or maybe a formerly fluent speaker looking to polish up your Spanish skills, Club de español is for you. In this group we will practice speaking Spanish together in a low-key, supportive environment. Depending on what the group wants, we may speak for the whole meeting, or include activities like reading articles aloud, or listening to podcasts. While this group is focused on beginner to intermediate Spanish speakers, all who enjoy speaking Spanish are welcome. Light refreshments will be provided thanks to the Friends of the Belmont Public Library. Librarian Nancy McColm will facilitate this group and questions or comments can be sent to nmccolm@minlib.net.
