Best summer program!

I spent 5 weeks this summer with LITA on the northern trip and I am so grateful for this experience. I had never fully immersed in Spanish like this before but it had been one of my favorite classes at school and I knew it would be worthwhile for me. Spending these five weeks with a small group of like-minded students was fun, educational, valuable, and I made friends I know I will have to life. I worked in a “práctica” and stayed with a family in a small town and I am so lucky to have had this experience. My host sister was my age and quickly became a best friend of mine — she taught me everything and was always by my side. My host parents were welcoming and kind, willing to help me with whatever I needed and slow down talking when I first arrived. I watched fútbol with them, hung out with friends, went to dinners, drove out of town for day trips to explore the area, and overall made unforgettable memories. The group of students traveling with me were completely committed to the language immersion and supported me greatly in tackling the challenge of communicating in a different language. If you are looking to grow as a Spanish speaker and as a person, this is the program for you!
