“Learning a foreign language not only reveals how other societies think and feel, what they have experienced and value, and how they express themselves, it also provides a cultural mirror in which we can more clearly see our own society.” • Chancellor Edward Lee Gorsuch
Whether I am walking to school or taking the bus to IES Abroad I am constantly reading everything around me– signs, advertisements, store names and graffiti. It not only helps with my Spanish, but also allows me to have a better idea of the area that I am traveling through in that moment. From direct political thoughts to expressive poetic words spray painted across various walls and buildings, I find it all interesting and telling.
