Question

One of the best ways to put language learning to practice is to spend time in the countries where the language is spoken. You could join a travel program, participate in a student exchange, or sign up for volunteer work abroad. There are many programs available to middle and high school students (over the summer or during the year) and to gap year students (the year after high school and before college). Research travel, adventure, exchange, and/or volunteer abroad programs that take students your age to countries where Spanish is spoken. Write one paragraph in English summarizing a program that appeals to you. Your paragraph should include 8-10 sentences and respond to the following questions: • What is the name of the program? In which Spanish-speaking country is the program located? What are the requirements to participate in the program? What interests you about the program? Remember to include a link to the program you choose​

Answer 1

One program that appeals to me is called "Spanish Immersion Adventure" located in Costa Rica. This program is designed for high school students aged 14-18 who have a passion for learning Spanish and immersing themselves in the culture of Costa Rica. The requirements to participate in the program include having at least one year of Spanish language study, being in good academic standing, and having a positive attitude towards cultural exchange and adventure.

What interests me about this program is the combination of language learning and cultural immersion. It offers a unique opportunity to practice Spanish in real-life situations while exploring the beautiful country of Costa Rica. The program includes intensive language classes taught by native Spanish speakers, engaging cultural activities such as cooking classes, dance lessons, and visits to local communities, as well as exciting outdoor adventures like hiking through rainforests, zip-lining, and exploring volcanic landscapes.
