I loved my week at Agualivar

Some things that stood out to me about this program vs. other (non-immersion) Spanish learning experiences that I've had:
--Estefanía and Elisabeth are VERY good at teaching Spanish. They identify problems that you're having and explain them to you, they correct you without interrupting your speaking flow, and they come up with good exercises for whatever topic you're working on.
--They and their mom, Carmen, are also really lovely, lively people, and it was fun to get to know them.
--The immersion was real! The students and teachers spoke Spanish to each other the whole time.
--The non-classroom activities they scheduled were really interesting, even ones that sounded kind of boring on paper.
--I loved having meals with native Spaniards, as goofy as that sounds. Both at the house and in a restaurant, it made it really easy to ask questions about norms and expectations.
