What is La Casa?
La Casa is a community of students dedicated to improving the Spanish language skills and exploring the Latina/o culture. To that end, we challenge each other to maintain an environment of immersion and cooperative learning. Community members attend social, cultural and community service events that build friendships, new cultural understanding, and language skills. Students in the Spanish House speak Spanish on a regular basis in the community. Through weekly meetings, educational sessions and conversation hours, participants will be able to expand their proficiency in the language and culture. There are opportunities to utilize these skills in the Carolina community and in the surrounding Chapel Hill/Carborro communities.
