A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | If you want to have an experience where you are completely immersed in Spanish culture and really want to learn the language and what life is like in Spain then I would suggest this program. You will make friends with the other Americans in your program but also with Spaniards who will help you discover more about Spain. |
