HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
I engaged with the local community in many ways. Living with a host family gave me a great insight to what daily life can look life. I also had the opportunity to volunteer in a classroom, so I interacted with students and got to know them during my time there.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
I really enjoyed the class "Diversity of Spanish in the World." The class took a deep dive on different dialects and characteristics of the Spanish language in different regions in Spain as well as in North/South America. I thought it was very interesting to listen to Spanish speakers from different areas of the same country and see how their way of speaking slightly changed.
