Welcome to the Department of Foreign Languages blog!

The aim of this blog is to connect everyone who is associated in some way with the foreign language department: from Spanish and French chapel, to international studies majors, to Dialektos students, to Spanish, French and German students, to faculty.  Expect to find events that are coming up, as well as catch up on what has been going on.  Also expect links to news around the world relevant to languages, literature and cultures.

Initially, faculty, majors and minors will be able to post via e-mail, but everyone should be able to comment on the different articles and create threads.  If someone outside of the three groups named above wants to be able to post, contact “profe Pablo” and he can set you up to be able to post.

My name is Eric Mallet, a former student of the Study Abroad experience in Uruguay Fall 2006.  The purpose of this email is to inform you and your department about this amazing opportunity for an educational adventure!  During this event, students and the Abilene Community will be exposed to the style of dance called, Candombe.  It orginated in South America, a country south of Brazil, called Uruguay, I figured that you might appreciate this event.  Information is posted below:
 
Purpose: To help bring awarness of black history while encouraging teenagers to become leaders in their community
Announcement:
What: Fundraiser for the Carver Youth Council
Cost: $3 for students, $5 for adults
When: Friday February 26th at 7:00pm

Participants:
Candombe, style of dance that displays the Afro-Uruguayan struggle through slavery and self expression. Very simple, and ANYBODY can participate. The more people, the more fun and the more people are educated about this genre of music.
