My Spring in Seville

My spring in Seville was amazing. I was definitely nervous about the language barrier before I left. I had taken Spanish in high school and thought I was moderately fluent. However, you do not really know how fluent you are until you are immersed in the culture. It was definitely not an issue that I was not completely fluent. The other API students I met were very nice and I had a great host family. My host family made sure that I was well taken care of and prepared 3 meals a day. I took 5 classes at the University of Seville. I had a language course, a healthcare and voluntary work course, the theory and history of Flamenco, Spanish Cuisine, and Literary and Cultural Traditions of Spanish Speaking Countries. The classes were very interactive and we even took some field trips in order to dive into the content deeper. The scenery is beautiful and it is a nice city to go for long walks.
