Tell us a meaningful Spanish-related story.
I study Spanish because I want to communicate with a lot of people around the world. During my third year here, I studied in Costa Rica for a semester. I like the Tico culture (Pura vida!). I learned about environmental diversity and met a lot of nice people. When I came back to the US, I missed Costa Rica. Last summer, I had the chance of returning to Costa Rica as a guide for a group of students. I'm grateful for the experience and for the people I've met. I could eat and Papaya for the rest of my life and be happy! I hope to be able to return to Costa Rica again.
Any advice for students learning Spanish now?
Travel if possible! Also, read a lot in Spanish - novels, online newspapers, magazines - to improve your vocabulary.
