Welcome
The Spanish Club, also known as Club Español, is a Chartered Social Club organized in 1980 by residents interested in sharing the enjoyment of the Spanish language and culture. Many club members are learning Spanish for the first time. Other members have become quite comfortable speaking Spanish. The Spanish classes and conversation groups offered by the club are a fun way to learn something new. . . and keep one’s brain active!
In the past Club Español has had several wonderful fiestas each year. The Fall Fiesta was held in November, the Holiday Fiesta was held in December, the Valentine’s Fiesta was held in February, and our Fiesta de Primavera (Spring Fiesta) was held in April. Because of Covid-19, “in person” Spanish classes and gatherings for fiestas and club meetings are considered a health risk. Therefore, fiestas and General Meetings will not be held until further notice. Gathering together in fiestas, club meetings, and large group classes will be reviewed as Covid information emerges and revised plans will be announced.
Classes
The Spanish Club offers classes at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels starting in October of each year at the Beardsley Recreation Center. Some of the classes will focus on conversation, others on introducing all aspects of the language and some on more advanced verbs and grammar.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will not be new beginning Spanish classes until further notice. Classes will be offered when they can be conducted safely relative to Sun City West Recreation Center Board and COVID-19 policy. Our Learn Spanish! menu and its associated pages on this website offer opportunities for you to begin or continue your Spanish language learning until we can again offer in-person classes. During the pandemic, some classes are offered via Zoom, but at this time, all these classes are filled. For information regarding future class availability, instructors, class descriptions, placement guide, and registration, please check this website and the pages on that particular menu regularly.
