Karina's post trip reflection

Our trip to Spain was a unique and memorable experience, and my first time visiting Spain as well. I loved staying with a host family and learned so much from my host mom, Pilar. Over time I got used to speaking Spanish and by the end I did not have to think as much about what I was saying because speaking felt natural. Now, I feel much more confident about speaking in Spanish. I also learned so much about the culture while we were there through the classes we took at the university, the flamenco class and show, and the cooking class. Not only did I learn how to cook a couple Spanish meals, but I also got the opportunity to try many famous Spanish dishes through the trip. I feel like I was completely immersed in the Spanish culture. I made lots of memories and many new friends by the end of the trip and I think my Spanish speaking and interpreting skills have definitely improved.
