This is our 3rd meeting this semester. We first introduce ourselves in Spanish to the group (here you get to meet other Spanish enthusiasts). Then, we watch a short film, usually 10 -20 mins long. While watching the film, everybody has a series of questions that they have to provide answers to, and after the film you can get to work together in small groups to compare your answers, which will later be presented to the whole group. The questions and discussions are all conducted in Spanish. All levels of competencies are welcome. Also, if the time allows, there is also an opportunity to learn basic Salsa lessons.
