Summer 2015 Participant
This trip made my desire to become fluent in Spanish much more "real." I was able to see how important learning another language is and how great it feels to communicate in another language with someone of a different background and culture. It felt very real to me. It was also valuable learning about Argentine history in that country. I had the opportunity to visit places that I had learned about in courses at KU.

Summer 2018 Participant
I found living with a host family and meeting local people through them the most rewarding. I made several friends that I hope to visit again one day soon.

Michael P Garrett, Summer 2013 Participant
I think the most rewarding part of the program and the biggest thing I took away from it was the improvement in my Spanish-speaking skills. At KU, in our Spanish classes we use a lot of vocabulary and sentences to form intellectual thoughts and analyze literature. Obviously, that doesn't come in handy when trying to call a cab, order a meal or try to talk to someone on the street. To me, this was very difficult. A lot of basic conversational skills that I learned I hadn't used since high-school Spanish. After the summer program in Buenos Aires, I think my conversation has improved immensely. Living with a host mom that knew absolutely no English definitely helped me grow as a Spanish speaker.
