Chisme: Weekly Spanish Conversation

Chisme is our club’s weekly social gathering designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world communication. Whether you are just starting out or looking to sharpen your fluency, join us for an afternoon of conversational games and community.


How It Works

To ensure everyone gets the most out of the session, we divide into two dedicated streams:

  • The Beginner Side: Focused on entry-level Spanish. This is a low-pressure environment for those building their foundational vocabulary and basic speaking confidence.

  • The Conversational Side: Focused on fluid, natural Spanish. This stream prioritizes high-energy dialogue and social interaction for more confident speakers.

Important Disclosure

Please note that Chisme is a social initiative, not a formal tutoring service. These sessions do not follow a set curriculum and are not structured to align with specific university coursework or academic syllabi. Our primary goal is to provide a space for practical, conversational practice.
