For those who don’t know, September 15th began Hispanic Heritage Month. 以你自己的方式 words, how would you describe this celebration, the importance, and how you and your 朋友和家人一起庆祝?
The importance of Hispanic Heritage Month is to celebrate our heritage, the people in our heritage and the impact we've had on the community and the 世界. 没有 many huge holidays but its more so that there are mini events that celebrate us as 一个社区. The César Chávez Cultural Center is one of the main organizations on campus that host many events because they are hosts and partners to many clubs especially 那些有拉丁/西班牙血统的人.
What are the best ways people outside of the community can get involved and learn 更多皇冠app安卓下载安装文化和历史的内容?
诚实地出去走走. 露面，露面. 我希望人们能理解 that we're stronger in numbers and that adding you voice to our cause helps us get 更多的信息. 我不确定是紧张还是什么，但你是否 part of the Latinx/Hispanic community you are always welcome to the carne asadas if you are willing to be open minded and accepting… and you bring good chisme. 我们欢迎 all and we will always be more than happy to tell you our goals, our missions, and 我们对社区的梦想. 你知道，我们正在创造历史.
How do you believe learning about new languages and cultures opens up your 世界 to 不同的经历，不同的人，不同的世界观?
我相信学习新的语言有助于建立联系. 当你努力去 learn 一门新语言 i feel you're also making a effort to understand another culture and I mean from there it's only a matter of time until you explore more. 或者虎钳 versa, where you're exposed to the culture then are curious to learn the language.
You know three languages, English, Spanish, and American Sign Language, and you are 目前我也在学习葡萄牙语. 你认为最好的学习方法是什么 一门新语言?
我是Duo的用户，但除了应用程序，我经常接触它. 所以无论是节目，音乐， events, or even talking with people that also speak your target language. 我强烈 believe if you don't practice it you'll lose it, hence why i speak Spanish around all my friends even if you don't understand me its mainly for me because i hold my 西班牙语贴近我的心.
Why do you believe it’s important that people learn more than one language? 如何 它从整体上改善你的生活?
会说两种语言真是太酷了. 这在很多领域都是有益的. 有 ALWAYS times where someone is speaking Spanish and needs help and i take it upon myself 帮助. Especially being an educator, I have a lot of Spanish-speaking kids or bilingual kids that feel more comfortable speaking in Spanish so i switch between the two in 教室里.
In your opinion, what are the most challenging things about learning 一门新语言?
The slang, the vocab is different depending where you're at, pronunciation, and when 当涉及到动词的结尾和变化时，我很困惑. 有时自从我开口说话 无论是英语还是西班牙语，其中一种都会延续到另一种.
Do you believe that surrounding yourself with people who speak the language or know about the culture can help you meet new people, therefore learning about their experiences 也?
是的. Everyone has a story and if you really want to know it, you just gotta put in the effort to learn the language, communicate, and get to know them. 你学会了 让自己接触不同的文化.
What is something about Mexican culture that you find the most pride and joy in?
我的语言和食物! 老实说，节日总是很热闹，但食物却很热闹 总是那么安慰. 虽然我的语言，我可能有偏见，但一切听起来 西班牙语更好. 爱，音乐，诗歌，童谣，笑话. 一切——但是 可能只有我是这样

As secretary, I take notes during meetings and I jot down everyone's ideas so we can 当我们计划下一个活动的时候，重新审视它们. 作为财务主管，我负责 funding and budgeting so not only do I jot down your ideas and then I try to make 他们发生.
Who is able to join the club and participate in your club events?
每个人，真的每个人. 我们是一个学生经营的俱乐部，正如我之前提到的 be friendly, welcoming, open minded, willing to learn more, and glad to stand alongside 那你在我们俱乐部就有一席之地了. 我们正努力与其他俱乐部建立更多的合作关系 and cultural clubs this semester and we’ll most likely be partnering again with Greek 生活和csamar Chávez文化中心. 我们这学期的会议很好看 to be Thursdays from 2-3 in the basement of the César Chávez house so if you're able 去做，然后顺道拜访.
