I attended my first Spanish Conversations group virtually at the library.
When I was a Spanish speaking librarian serving adults, I used to run a program just like this. It was during the pandemic so I did it on Zoom as well as in person.
Maria Cristina used to live in my area, but she now lives abroad in Latin America, and that’s why the program was moved online. I kind of love that it’s online, though, so people are able to connect from anywhere, and so I can do it right from home. Also, I’m super happy that I figured out how to make a photo of my bookshelf my Zoom background!
There was only one other lady there besides Maria Cristina and me, but we still managed to fill the hour with lively conversation. Maria Cristina also brought prompt topics to speak about, and one we used was: “describe your dream home.” It was fun to imagine what my dream library would be like – not unlike the one I have, except I’d add a rolling ladder!
Reflection:
This program is biweekly, and I’m looking forward to logging on next time for more Spanish practice!
