Boosted My Courage to Speak Spanish!

On the first day I was excited to meet my homestay family. When I arrived at the house I met Jorge and Maritza. At the time the Euro Cup final was being played between England and Spain. I watched this game and then the Copa America final game between Argentina and Colombia. We did a lot of activities throughout the two weeks that forced me to use my Spanish in real-life situations, and the 4 hours of classes every day improved my understanding of the language a lot. My favorite part of the stay was the trip to the Arenal volcano and lake. We kayaked, rafted and relaxed in the hot springs which I enjoyed a lot. The food in my homestay was great, and I enjoyed getting to know my homestay family. This trip has given me the courage to practice Spanish with more people, and I would absolutely recommend it.
