Segovia, Spain

Today I have made my decision that I will b studying in Segovia Spain from September 2, 2012 until December 4th, 2012. I will live with a host family in Segovia. There are about 22 students from Bethel University and Concordia University going as well. I will take about three to four Spanish calsses along with an internship in a spanish speaking elementary school that will count for credits. When I arrive I will be immersed into an intense spanish review for the first week and a half before my classes begin. There are paid excursions I will be attending. They have four one day trips around Spain. There are also a few overnight trips. I will spend five days in Madrid and Sevilla. There is alos a four day trip to Barcelona. We have a nin day break in the middl of October, which is when I will go and visit one of my good friends who is living in Germany. I am so excited for this opportunity! One wekends I am free to travel around the country adn the other countries in Europe. The school also sets up a regular Spainsh speaking university students who is learning english with one of the students we are traveling with and we spend half the time speaking in English and half the time speaking in Spanish, where we correct eachothr grammatically and phonetically. This is a great opportunity to really master the language. I am so excited and cannot wait until I am on the plane to Spain!
