Free Blog Choice - Spain

     This coming September a spanish girl my age will be coming to the United States to live in my house for two weeks. I haven't found out her name or interests; however, I am very excited to get in touch with her. After two weeks pass, I will go back to her house and live with her and her family. My goal from this trip is to come back almost fluent in Spanish. I really love studying the culture and language, and I have been working on my speaking skills so I can better communicate with my exchange student. There is a high possibility that I will share an exchange student with my friend Katherine Ann. I have talked to her about our feelings for leaving the United States, and we are both excited and nervous. I think this program Mrs. Alvarez created is going to be a great opportunity to advance my knowledge of the Spanish language.  Most importantly, it will give me the chance to live with a host family, meaning I will be fully immersed in the culture and lifestyle for a couple weeks.  I really think this is something that I will both learn from and enjoy a great deal, and I feel it will be an experience I benefit from and always remember.
