Stories from Abroad
Hear what recent study abroad students are saying about their journeys overseas.
I am a Spanish minor and have always loved the language. All of my classes were in Spanish, and my host mom didn't speak any English. Both of these components aided in mastering my fluency in Spanish, which I will be forever grateful for.
Anna S.
Ohio State University
My advice when learning a new language is to be intentional in everyday life, as locals appreciate foreigners who put an effort into speaking the language. This is another way of learning oral communication and a great way to meet new people.
