Introduction

I want to speak Spanish more often and meet people with an interest in the language. Took plenty of grammar in school. I speak the language well, but concerned I'll get rusty.

¿Que te gustaría hacer para mejorar tu español? (What would you like to do improve your Spanish for the better?)

I want to think of the right word in Spanish quickly instead of fumbling for the word or settling for Spanglish.

¿Cuales son algunas de tus lugares favoritos para comer comida Hispana? (What are some of your favorite Hispanic restaurants?)

Cafe Piquet, Mi Pueblito.

¿De donde eres? ¿De donde es tu familia? (Where are you from? Where is your family from?)

Born in Cuba, raised in San Juan PR. Have lived in Mexico and Spain.

¿Quiénes son tus celebridades favoritos de origen hispano? (What are your favorite celebrities of Hispanic origen? actor, musician, singer, comedian, etc.

Writers: Carlos Eire (Waiting for Snow in Havana), F. Bauer (el puente de Alcantara). Singers: Willie Chirino.

What Bob Gonzalez is saying about this Meetup Group

This group is easy going, few seem to be shy and those that needed help with Spanish got it. There is a good ratio of solid Spanish speakers to those who are still improving their language skills. Truly a great opportunity to speak Spanish without feeling embarrased or self-concious.
