One of the most unique experiences

LITA is not only a program for those who wish to improve their Spanish, but also for those who want an incredible and transformative experience with the Spanish culture. From the moment in signed up for LITA, Jordan expressed interest in talking with me personally and answering any questions or doubts I had. This relationship allowed me to have a better experience with LITA, as I was sufficiently prepared and knew what I was going in to.

It was also clear that Jordan had spent time making activities in each town we visited the first and last weeks- every day we were able to meet new people, visit new places, and learn new things about the culture and history of Spain. Because we were mainly in rural areas, we rarely encountered other Americans and were thus completely immersed in the Spanish language and culture. This rural-focus, especially during the home-stay, also allowed us to make deeper connections with the community/those who lived in each town.

My home stay experience was absolutely amazing as well. Although I was overwhelmed at first, all of the families were very welcoming and wanted us to have the best time we could throughout the three weeks in their town. I was able to meet all of my host-sister’s friends and was lucky enough to experience their every-day lives.

I was able to gain confidence in my Spanish speaking, something that could not have been achieved had I not joined this program and thrown myself into the Spanish language. There is truly no program like LITA that is as curated, personal, and eye-opening
