Has anyone studied in Caracas Venezuela? (or any spanish speaking country, for that matter?)
Hello,

I'm very interested in the possibility of studying spanish in Caracas, Venezuela in January. I've never been there before, and i've never taken a language immersion class before either.

I was hoping someone might be able to tell me of their experiences with certain language immersion programs? There are SO many to choose from, and I really want to make the right choice, as this may be the only opportunity i'll ever have to do something like this for 3 weeks.

I'm not a gold member, but if you are, feel free to contact me. Otherwise, just respond here and we can communicate on the message board!

Thanks so much!

Matt

Hi Mathew!

I'm a native Spanish speaker and for this reason I've never taken inmmersion programs for learning this language but I know foreing people who have and maybe you are interested in their opinions.

One of them went to South America to study and when later he came to Spain it was a bit difficult for him at first to understand people here because although in both parts Spanish is spoken each one has different expressions or even words for the same thing.Even here in Spain there is a difference between the accent in the north and in the south of the country.

For instance,many european students who want to improve their knowledge of spanish choose the region of Castilla y León or Madrid to do it.

I hope this would help.
