Study Abroad | Intensive Spanish | University of Cadiz Spain

I had such an awesome and unforgettable experience with this program. The program provided such a great experience and opportunity to experience Spain at its fullest. I also want to give a special thanks to Marta for being such great help on recommending places to eat and have fun across many cities in Spain. Also enjoyed Martas company not only to me but my class mates that needed help wether it had something to do with class, housing, recommendations, and emergencies. As a native Spanish speaker, still felt like I learned a lot from the Spanish language that I will carry on at home. The culture was amazing, loved all the social interactions I had in Spain and learned a lot of slang and customs that are practiced here. And lastly the food was amazing, love trying food across the globe and Spain for sure checked the box.

Alicia Otero Cuesta was one of the worst human beings I’ve met in my entire life. From calling me names and stating that I’m disrespectful and uneducated to ruining my clothes when she only washed twice in an entire month to making me go hungry because she always reheated extremely small portions of food for my roommate and I while she cooked a decent meal for herself and husband. The following picture was our dinner after not eating for 7 hours because of course she didn’t give us any snacks.

I studied for 6 weeks in Cádiz, Spain with Centro Mundolengua and had the best experience of my life. While taking 2 intensive Spanish language courses at Universidad de Cádiz, my group travelled through southern Spain, had weekly cultural immersion activities, and spent our free time on the beautiful beaches and in the tranquil but lively city of Cádiz. Centro Mundolengua did an amazing job pairing me with a wonderful host family from whom I learned so much about Spain, the language, and the culture of Cádiz. Our program director was always available for any questions, advice, or simply to check in and make sure we were enjoying the program to the fullest extent. On our weekends, we travelled to the magnificent cities of Granada, Sevilla, and Córdoba and experienced the rich history and culture of Andalusia, along with our tour guides who knew everything there is to know about these cultural sites. Not only did I learn Spanish grammar and history within the classroom, but I was able to explore and leave feeling like an honorary Gaditana by the end of my program. I will never stop recommending this program because it truly was a life-altering experience and I will forever be grateful for it.
