Description
The Spanish Society is a vibrant cultural and language hub for students who want to explore
the Spanish-speaking world — socially, linguistically, and culturally. Whether you're fluent, a beginner, or just curious, we create inclusive spaces where everyone can connect and grow.
About Us
The LJMU Spanish Society is a dynamic and inclusive group designed for anyone with an interest in the Spanish language and Spanish-speaking cultures. From passionate beginners to fluent speakers, and from cultural enthusiasts to native Spanish speakers wanting to connect with home — this is a community where everyone belongs.
Throughout the academic year, we’ll be hosting an exciting calendar of events, including social nights, cultural activities, themed meals, salsa dancing, bar crawls, and theatre visits, all infused with Spanish and Latin American energy. We're committed to making our spaces as diverse and welcoming as possible — from casual non-alcoholic hangouts to lively fiestas.
We’re also introducing weekly Spanish lessons — completely free — open to all members, helping you grow your language skills with confidence. These sessions are perfect if you're preparing for our highlight event of the year: a spring trip to Barcelona! Whether you're here to practise your Spanish, discover new cultures, or meet incredible people, we promise there’s something for everyone.
