Imperative + indirect object pronoun
‘Échale’ is the affirmative tú‑imperative of ‘echar’ with the indirect object pronoun ‘le’, meaning ‘give it a…’ or ‘take a…’.
Fixed expression ‘echar un vistazo’
The phrase ‘echar un vistazo’ literally means ‘to throw a glance’, and is the idiomatic way to say ‘to take a look’.
Preposition ‘a’ for direction
When the object of the look is a place, activity or group, Spanish uses the preposition ‘a’ (e.g., ‘a clubes o clases’).
Gender & number agreement
‘Clubes’ and ‘clases’ are both masculine plural nouns, so the article is omitted after ‘a’ in this construction.

✕Common Mistakes
Échalo un vistazo a clubes o clases.
‘Échalo’ uses the direct object pronoun ‘lo’, but the expression requires the indirect pronoun ‘le’.
Mira un vistazo a clubes o clases.
‘Mira’ already means ‘look’, so pairing it with ‘un vistazo’ is redundant.
Échale un vistazo a los clubes o clases.
Leaving out the article after ‘a’ is idiomatic; adding it is okay, but mixing ‘los’ with ‘clases’ (which is feminine) creates gender mismatch.

Cultural Tip
‘Échale un vistazo’ is informal and typically used with people you address as tú. In a formal context (e.g., speaking to a professor or a senior colleague) you would say ‘Échele un vistazo’. Also, Spanish speakers often drop the article after ‘a’ in this construction, but adding it (‘a los clubes o a las clases’) is perfectly acceptable and sounds a bit more formal.
