Testimonial headshot

Meet Veronica S.

"At first, I was terrified of leaving behind my life in the U.S. But as soon as I arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. Over the course of my stay there, my Spanish language skills improved tremendously. I never thought I would become fluent, but after being surrounded by the language every day, I started to think and even dream in Spanish."
