Tell us a meaningful Spanish-related story.

My study-abroad experience to Valencia for a month was one of the best experiences of my life. I got so close with my host-mom and host-brother and I plan to go back to visit them very soon. I watched my Spanish speaking skills skyrocket which was really exciting. I also made some awesome relationships with the other students that I wouldn't have gotten to know had I not gone on the trip.

Any advice for students learning Spanish now?

Study abroad ASAP! I wish I had done this so much earlier than the summer before my final semester. I developed such a love and appreciation for Spanish that I feel like the classroom setting can't compare to.
