Spanish Background: I did a semester abroad in Mexico doing a Spanish Immersion course.
Favorite Chilean Thing: I love the bread here. There is fresh, hot bread in like every grocery store here. You just walk in and it's streaming hot ready to take home. It's amazing.
Memorable Quote: The three weeks I've be here have been equivalent to three months I spent in Guadalajara Mexico learning Spanish.

One thing I find fascinating about living in another country is the cultural differences. Customs are not right or wrong, they are simply different and to get to know the people there is no better way in my opinion than through local customs. Some customs will seem very normal, at least they were for me, while others are what locals take for granted and are necessary to understand in order to have a successful shopping trip.
Jeff Pelton Canadian My 6 weeks at the school were great. I learned a lot and really improved my Spanish. Everyone at the school was super welcoming and the teachers made the learning process really fun. It's much more than a school, with all the community links and social events they offer and host! it really is a link to life in Santiago. Overall a great experience!
