April 23 marks Spanish Language Day and pays homage to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the famed Spanish author who penned The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, or Don Quixote, as it is popularly known.
Today, there are approximately 400 million Spanish speakers, making Spanish the third-most-spoken language in the world, after English and Mandarin.
This is a good opportunity to organize literary contests for best-written novels such as Don Quixote or readings and all kinds of writing, from humorous to formal styles, as well as common sayings.
But even if you can’t make it to a Spanish Language Day fest, why don't you set a date to host a Spanish concert in your school and experience the language like never before? This is what you need |
