We will establish a new meetup for discussion of classic and contemporary Francophone literature if there is enough interest. In order to give members plenty of time to read each book, we are currently thinking of meeting every six weeks to two months.

A group for those learning Spanish and for Spanish speakers.  The idea is to get together and practice Spanish - hopefully we can come up with a range of activities that will reinforce the skills we already have, and add new capabilities.  Or, if you're already a speaker, this may be a venue to enjoy speaking the language, and helping others to enjoy it, too. Basically, anyone who's interested in Spanish language and Spanish/Latino culture might be interested in this.

What This Group is About (updated to reflect all languages!)

Please state the language at the beginning of your meetup name.
