Review

I absolutely loved my experience, from the program's staff, to my host family to our planned; trips, classes, and activities, all were fantastic! I entered the program with; a fair amount of exposure to Spanish immersion environments, a questionable but consistent background in Spanish from high school, 2 semesters of college Spanish, and a year break between when I took Spanish and when I went abroad. I also am dyslexic, so learning a language in a classroom is more difficult for me. I was unique in my SIT student cohort, because almost everyone had more Spanish credits than I did. At first the full immersion aspect of the program was overwhelming because it used so much energy to translate everything, while adjusting to learning my new day-to-day schedule. But it was definitely worth it to stick it out and probably my favorite aspect of the program. By the end of the semester, I left feeling confident navigating and communicating in a full immersion environment, a skill I’d abandoned mastering in a classroom due to my dyslexia. I would recommend this program to any and all!
