SUMMARY:Spanish Practice Through Song & Circle
DESCRIPTION:A new monthly event! \nSpanish speaking & singing practice \nSing. Speak. Stay in Spanish. \nA monthly immersion circle for those with some existing Spanish who want to grow confidence through song\, call-and-response\, shared rhythm\, and cultural exploration — without classroom pressure or performance. \n\nThis gathering is a Spanish-forward practice space designed for people who already have a basic conversational familiarity with Spanish and want to strengthen ease\, pronunciation\, comprehension\, and confidence by using the language — not studying it. \nThe evening begins with a relaxed potluck dinner\, followed by a guided group circle held primarily in Spanish. We sing Latin American medicine songs using Spotify or live accompaniment\, practice pronunciation through call-and-response\, and engage in simple speaking exercises that encourage participation without putting anyone on the spot. \nShort instructional videos may be used to clarify common challenges such as ser / estaror desde / hace\, always in service of staying in the language rather than slipping back into English. We may also watch brief Spanish-language videos focused on travel\, culture\, history\, or food — offering inspiration as well as listening practice. \nThis is not a class\, and it is not for absolute beginners. \nIt is a supportive practice container where mistakes are welcome\, fluency grows through repetition\, and confidence builds by resisting the easy fallback to English. \nNative and fluent Spanish speakers are warmly welcomed — your presence helps hold the field and enriches the experience for everyone. \n⸻ \nFormat \n6:30–7:30 pm \nPotluck dinner & informal conversation \n7:30–9:30 pm \nGroup circle: singing\, speaking\, listening\, and cultural immersion \n(Primarily held in Spanish) \n⸻ \nWhen \nFourth Thursday of each month \nBeginning February 26 \n⸻ \nEnergy Exchange \n$10–30 sliding scale \nPlease contribute at a level that feels fair and sustainable for you. \n⸻ \nHaiku \nVoices cross borders \nStories carried on rhythm \nThe world feels closer
