I am both nervous and excited about being in Ecuador and (hopefully) really learning to speak spanish. I’ve taken spanish courses for years, but have never had to apply it in life and in actual conversations. I am excited to work on those skills and hopefully come away from the semester with proficient conversational skills. However, I am also nervous about the language emersion process. I have not taken a spanish class since fall of 2016, and thus think that the first few weeks of getting back into the practice of speaking the language will be difficult.
