Le Club de Francais y club de Espanol

My friends are already used to hearing "I'm going to a club"

And by that I don't mean Cloud N9ne or Oceans 7 type of club.

Being a freshman in college I knew I had to continue being involved in school activities so during the first month of school I signed up for the French club, the Spanish club, the International club, the Health club, the Young Life/ Christian Challenge club, and even the Exceptional Students club. Of course I couldn't possibly find time to go to all of their meetings and in the end became the French club VP and Spanish club treasurer.

I decided to become involved in the two mentioned clubs because: 

1.  Both clubs were holding elections and.. 
2. They go past the France and Mexican borders and incorporate "francophone" countries into their culture as well as the Spanish and South American countries.

In France it is polite to greet someone either with a handshake or with 1 kiss or bises on each cheek. In the Latin community they are more affectionate and incorporate hugs and kisses when greeting close relatives. 

The French and Spanish cultures share a lot of similarities from the structure in which the languages are written/ spoken, to the way they show affection toward family members.

The only difference I have found thus far is the games played in each culture.

In our first French club meeting I met our elected president and I learned that he sings in francophone churches here in Arizona. In French club last week we played a game (I had never hear of) called Boule, or more commonly known as Bacci Ball here in the U.S. Turns out, that even though I have horrible aim, and could not see my target I was "a pro" in Boule, according to our club president (who was my biggest rival throughout the game).
