About Us

The Richmond Spanish Language Meet and Greet is a meet up group that welcomes Spanish speakers of all levels who want to meet other Spanish speakers and converse in Spanish. Whether you are fluent in Spanish and just want to meet new people and share your knowledge of the language, or a beginner who wants to practice what you have learned and continue to expand your competency and confidence level. We will gather at various local establishments (coffee shops, malls, library, bars, and restaurants, etc.) around the community.

Interested in an Upcoming Event!
If you are interested in an attending an upcoming event, it is preferred that you add a comment and provide your name and indicate that you are interested in attending, so others who may be interested will know who will be attending. If you do not want to leave a comment, then it is okay to just show up. If it's your first time and you are shy, feel free to just listen and observe. Just keep in mind, the purpose of the meet ups are to converse in Spanish, so let's keep English to a minimum.

Tips for Learning Spanish

Thinking about taking the plunge and learning Spanish? Want some useful advice on the best way to improve? Here are some helpful tips to help you on your way.
1. Be Patient
Take your time and don't expect to be perfect straight away. Learning a new language should be attempted in small, manageable steps. Congratulate yourself on progress made and try to steer clear of making unrealistic targets.
2. Learn Spanish Abroad
It's common knowledge that students learn quicker when they are exposed to the language on a regular basis. It's also very rewarding seeing your hard work paying off!
3. Actively Involve Yourself With Spanish Literature
Attempting a couple of small articles regularly you can pick up common words and phrases that you will need to get to grips with quickly. Spanish teachers say that newspapers and magazines can help students pick up key phrases and gain more confidence in their writing and reading ability.
4. Organize Your Work And Yourself
After every lesson make sure you review everything you learn and understand it. Then do it again. Afterwards, organize everything in a way that you understand. There is nothing more frustrating than consistently searching for the vital piece of information in amongst hundreds of sheets of paper.
5. Use Flashcards
Students and teachers alike say that this is a great way of memorizing key words that they come across each day. If you keep hearing a word while you are out and about, write it on your card. Also, if there is a word or phrase you constantly forget, write on your flashcard. You can then focus your efforts on perfecting your Spanish in the key areas you need.
