Spanish Study Abroad
Additional Information
Studies show that the best way to learn a language is through complete immersion, and it sure helps to be in incredible locations while studying Spanish! If Spanish language acquisition is more important to you than gaining college credit, taking an intensive Spanish course abroad could be an affordable and focused way to quickly improve your language skills while having the free time to explore a new part of the world. On the other hand, Spanish study abroad programs are a great option for students interested in college credit too.
Choosing to study Spanish abroad could offer an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in your Spanish speaking studies. The courses in these programs mainly focus on core Spanish language topics. These could include grammar, conjugation, new vocabulary, and even literary studies. But, most importantly, your studies could expand beyond your everyday classroom, into the real world. You could test your abilities outside of class as you explore a new country.
Living and learning as part of a study Spanish abroad program could do more than enhance your conversational capabilities. It could place you among a new culture that offers unique food to try, people to meet, and chances for adventure. Just get used to saying “Como se dice?” in the beginning. That’s “How do you say…?” in Spanish!
And, of course, you could possibly put this unique experience towards college credit at your home college or university. Schools vary so check with your advisor to learn which programs might qualify for credit.
