WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY? (IF YOU INTERNED ABROAD YOU CAN USE THIS SPACE TO TELL US ABOUT YOUR INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE IF YOU PREFER)
My favorite class abroad was my "Spanish for Business" class. I really enjoyed this class because as a business major who wants to work in Spain one day, I learned a lot of vocab that I didn't know prior. This class taught me the basics of business language in Spanish which is essential and useful in my coming years.
HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
I joined this amazing opportunity called "Intercambio", which is essentially a language exchange program. I met for dinner (or tapas if you will) with a local Spaniard weekly to have conversations in both English and Spanish (she was working on her English and I was working on my Spanish. It helped me learn about the locals' daily lives as well as improve my Spanish conversational skills in a supportive environment.
