We wanted the group to have an open and comfortable feel to it, so we decided to create more of a 'get-together' environment where the members could just come and chat.
Of course there will be some information given out in the beginning and the end of the meetings, but there will be no set topic that will be discussed. So in other words, anything goes.
Each session will be an hour long, and we will reserve the first ten minutes and the last ten minutes for English discussion. In this part we will be giving club updates, news, and briefly discuss upcoming events and ideas.
In the 40 minutes in between, we will be speaking COMPLETELY in Spanish. This is the only 'rule' that Pepe has. All members are encouraged to use all of the Spanish that they have learned in order to communicate with the group, a partner, or whomever they chose. We want everyone to know that nobody will be judged, picked on, or criticized for their level of Spanish.
Just so you know, the club is open to ALL Spanish speakers, whether they be first year 601ers, or native speakers. All we ask is that you come willing to share what you've learned!
Also, when we break down the club time limits, you most definitely do NOT have to be there the whole time. You can come when you like, and leave when you like, but we strongly encourage attending the entire session or at least one of the English parts so you don't miss important news. Even though we will be updating the blog frequently, it's just good to get the information straight from the source.
Remember that since Pepe is not your 'traditional' type club, we are certainly open to any ideas for events! So we want to hear from you--let us know if you have any ideas for fun, spanish related meets during the semester.
Also, there will be occasional snacks and tasty treats brought to the meetings. Just a little sweet incentive to practice.
