Whenever I go to a new place there are a few things I notice immediately: flow of the people, frequency of coffee shops, and the language. Language is something so important and so beautiful, yet when it is familiar we hardly think about it. IES Abroad's program in Santiago, Chile is full-on immersion, so we had to have a little bit of Spanish knowledge going in to the semester. I think we were all at least comfortable with the idea of holding daily life conversations in Spanish.
