Once in a lifetime experience!
I highly recommend my educational internship experience in Uruguay. I enjoyed living and working close to my internship and developing friendships with everyone involved in my stay in Uruguay. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is studying education and would like to up their skills in Spanish. I recommend that a candidate be intermediate in their Spanish since English is not as commonly spoken as in Europe, although many understand limited English. The housing was wonderful, very close to the beach (only two blocks). There were many amazing sunsets I witnessed and the beach was nice and relaxing to swim after a long day. My Spanish Instructor was excellent and second to none - very personable and helped me pinpoint my strengths as well as weaknesses to work on in my Spanish progress. I also had the opportunity to travel to nearby cities an hour or less away, that have a lot of character and wonderful, friendly people. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Uruguay and planned to come back for fun in a few months so that I can enjoy the rest of the country!
