MESA ESPAÑOLA | BJÖRKLUNDEN SEMINARS | VIVA

Lawrence offers students interested in the language and culture of the Spanish-speaking world many learning opportunities outside of the classroom.

MESA ESPAÑOLA

Mesa española is meant to provide students with a relaxed, informal exnvironment in which to practice their language skills. It offers students a perfect opportunity to get together, share a meal, and become involved in the discussion of many topics of interest. All mesa española meetings are lead by Spanish department's language assistants, familiar with the Spanish program, and language courses.
