Club Español de Conversación

English/Spanish Language Exchange

The former Club Español returns in person on Thursday, May 19, 2022, from 5:30pm – 6:30, in Room 1, at the Brigadier General Charles E. Mcgee Library, 900 Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring with a new name and purpose. The new English/Spanish Language Exchange will welcome English and native Spanish speakers. The weekly sessions will run like spontaneous meet ups, where participants learn from one another. Those gathered will divide into mixed pairs or trios, with at least native English and Spanish speakers in each conversation group.  The native speakers will help the second language learner with grammar and vocabulary in discussion of the day’s topic.  “Conversation with our neighbors creates a stronger and healthier community,” says Rosanne Skirble, who has led El Club Español for several years and teaches Español en Nuestra Comunidad at Montgomery College. “This gets everyone talking in both languages,” she adds.  For more information contact Abdulai Koroma at the Brigadier General Charles E. Mcgee Library, (240) 773-9420.

Intercambio Inglés/Español
El Club Español regresa en persona el jueves 19 de mayo de 2022 de 5:30pm a 6:30 en la Biblioteca Brigadier General Charles E. Mcgee, 900 Wayne Avenue en el centro de Silver Spring con un nuevo nombre y propósito. El nuevo formato será un intercambio de inglés y español y dará la bienvenida a tanto a hablantes natives de inglés y español. Las sesiones semanales se desarrollarán como encuentros espontáneos, done los participantes aprenden uno del otro. Los participantes se dividirán en parejas mixtas o tríos con al menos de un hablante native de inglés y español en cada grupo de conversacion. Los hablantes nativos ayudarán al estudiante de un segundo idioma con la gramática y el vocabulario en la discusión del tema del día. 
“La conversacion con nuestros vecinos crea una comunidad más fuerte y saludable,” dice Rosanne Skirble, quien ha dirigido El Club Español en los últimos anos y enseña el curso Español en Nuestra Comunidad en Montgomery College. “Este intercambio hace que todos hablen en ambos idiomas,” agrega.  Para más información, comuníquese con Abdulai Koroma en La Biblioteca Silver Spring (240) 773-9420.
