10 weeks in A Coruña, Spain

I am so glad that I chose to participate in this program. Not only have I spent my summer at a beautiful place with absolutely perfect weather, but I can actually feel my progress in Spanish in this condensed period of time, especially on the car ride from and back to the airport. I changed from needing the driver to speak English to being able to understand almost every single word.

I also had the best Spanish teacher who tried to bring fun and experience to our small classes, like playing Spanish cards and having a picnic with traditional food from different cultures.

And Nicole, the program director, offered me a combination of two different internship placements (although both at the same place), which I had a hard time picking only one. And I really, really appreciate this flexibility as it helps me to narrow down my future career goal.

Finally, I also enjoyed the extra trips a lot, and everything feels just right.
