¡A practicar!

Espero que lo que aquí escribo sirva para ayudar a estudiantes del castellano y de las culturas de países hispanohablantes a desarrollar el vocabulario, practicar las estructuras, y entender un poco más nuestras ricas costumbres e historias.

I hope that what I write here will help students of Spanish and of the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries to develop vocabulary, practice structures, and better understand our rich customs and histories. 

¡A divertirse!

Try going to a Hispanic restaurant near your home. Most people live in places where there is a Mexican restaurant, but try other foods, as well. If you live in or near a large metropolitan city, or if you visit one during your summer vacation, you can probably find Caribbean, Peruvian, and Spanish foods, as well. Even the little taco carts that you find in many places can be a great source of new and delicious fare. Try new dishes, and order in Spanish. If the staff know you're genuinely trying to learn Spanish, they will usually be friendly and accommodating.  Try going out to a show, or watching a movie at home in Spanish. Some independent movie theaters have international films, and if you look at their schedule you can find some films in Spanish, although Netflix and Blockbuster have many movies in Spanish, as well. Or go dancing and learn salsa. Make it a Spanish-speaking evening, going out with friends who either speak Spanish or are learning, and vow you'll try to speak in Spanish all evening. In Richmond, the Latin Ballet of Virginia does performances year-round in various locations. Check out their web site: http://www.latinballet.com/company.asp.
In DC, the Teatro Hispano has many types of performances, and in June they will focus on Afro-Peruvian music. If you're in the DC area, don't miss it!: http://www.galatheatre.org/.
Other cities have their own performances, you just have to do a web search and you'll find all kinds of things.

If going out to dinner is too expensive, or there is nowhere to go near your house, try cooking new recipes at home. Here are a few sites with recipes, and in some of them there are links for ordering some ingredients that can be hard to get:

Enjoy your adventures in exploring the Hispanic world right in your neighborhood! Tell me how it goes.
