¡Hola a todos!

Please join us **Wednesday, December 3** in New Paltz!

We’ll be meeting for an evening of informal Spanish conversation. Show up whenever you like between 6 and 8 p.m. All levels are welcome, from beginner to advanced to native, Just bring whatever Spanish you have!

Note: This will be a combined event with our [Hudson Valley French Meetup.](https://www.meetup.com/hudson-valley-french-meetup/) We'll have separate tables for each. If you speak both languages, stop by both sections!

**The restaurant:** Includes a range of pub food, beers, wine, and cocktails. Visit the [website here ](https://cuddysny.com/)for a look at the menu. Please order at least one thing (even just a soda or some fries) to help out the restaurant that’s hosting us. We’ll have separate checks to make things easier.

**RSVP:** Please RSVP if you plan to attend and update if you can’t make it. This helps us give the restaurant a heads up for how many will attend so we can set up the table as needed.

**Parking:** Paid parking ends at 6 p.m. There are two lots on Plattekill Ave near the restaurants; one just behind and another down a bit by village hall/department of public works. For street parking, Plattekill Ave, Main St, Route 32N (North Chestnut Street) or Church Street are good places to look.

**How to find us:** Ask the host/hostess or just look for the table with mini flags from Spanish-speaking countries on it!

**Event cost:** Free to attend, but small donations welcome to offset Meetup organizer fees and miscellaneous expenses (like mini flags, posters).

**Note:** There isn’t a particular theme for our meetings and it’s not a class. We just talk about whatever! Of course, many learners find it useful to practice particular topics/phases ahead of time. If you want to do that, some of the common questions at a language meetup are:

* ¿Cuánto tiempo llevas estudiando español?
*(How long have you been studying Spanish?)*
* ¿Cómo aprendiste español?
*(How did you learn Spanish?)*
* ¿Qué te motivó a aprender español?
*(What motivated you to learn Spanish?)*
* ¿Qué parte del idioma te resulta más fácil o difícil?
*(What part of the language is easiest or hardest for you?)*
* ¿Tienes una palabra o expresión favorita en español?
*(Do you have a favorite word or expression in Spanish?)*
* ¿Dónde vives?
*(Where do you live?)*
* ¿Dónde creciste?
*(Where did you grow up?)*
* ¿Has visitado algún país hispanohablante? ¿Cuál te gustó más?
*(Have you visited a Spanish-speaking country? Which did you like best?)*
* ¿A qué te dedicas?
*(What do you do for work?)*
* ¿Tienes mascotas?
*(Do you have any pets?)*
* ¿Qué quieres mejorar en tu español?
*(What do you want to improve in your Spanish?)*
* ¿Qué te gusta hacer en tu tiempo libre?
*(What do you like to do in your free time?)*

It can be useful to practice asking yourself and answering questions like this, especially if your Spanish is a bit rusty!

Please feel free to message me or post in the event chat below if you have any questions.

¡Esperamos verlos allí!
