Are you going to a Spanish speaking country during J-Term or next spring? Would you like to begin learning a few useful words and phrases in Spanish? Do you want or need to keep up your foreign language fluency? Drake University’s Department of World Languages and Cultures offers free help in an informal setting.

Spanish Conversation Hours are scheduled four times a week in Meredith Hall, Room 202: Wednesdays 3:30-4:30 p.m.; Thursdays 2:30-3:30 p.m.; and Fridays 1-2 p.m. and 2-3 p.m. No registration is required. You can stay for the hour or drop in for a few minutes. No sessions are held during University holidays or final exam week.

All levels of Spanish speakers from all areas of the Drake community are welcome. The group warmly supports all participants with opportunities for practicing Spanish; no long-term commitment is required to attend. A native speaker facilitates the conversation in Spanish in a casual atmosphere. Don’t worry if you haven’t spoken in Spanish for a decade, or ever; all participants are on the language-learning journey.
