Post Program Reflection

Abbey Road made my experience in Spain unbelievable! It was my first time going to Spain and with the help of Abbey Road, it was so fun and it made me want to stay so much longer. The program guided me and showed me how to make the best of my stay in Spain. I had no idea where to go or how to do things in Spain but with the Abbey Road staff there to help me it became very easy for me to get around and I became so familiar with the town of Cadiz! The staff was super nice there, it was great having them as our teachers and as our guides because we would be able to bond with them and become very comfortable around them. They were all very responsible while at the same time being very funny and not too strict. The homestay family was one of my favorite parts of the trip. Getting to live with a welcoming and caring family while we stay in Spain was great! They would help me with Spanish that I didn't know, and they also told me about cool parts of the city and nice restaurants to go to. Aside from the helpful suggestions it was also nice to just sit down and have a nice chat with them. We all became good friends and would enjoyed spending time with each other. The classes in Spain were very fun and helpful! The teachers knew what they were doing and we tried to speak Spanish in classes as much as possible. Honestly, in the beginning I expected the classes to be boring just as they are in school, but the classes were so fun! Instead of staying in the classes the whole time, we went into the city and talked to locals, went to museums and visited restaurants to enhance our speaking and vocab! All the people that attended Abbey Road were so fun and cool. We all bonded and had a lot of fun doing activities together. The activities that we did were also very fun. We watched flamenco, we went to beaches, went to water parks, ate at very nice restaurants and much more. The abbey road experience in Cadiz, Spain was amazing and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is aiming to improve their Spanish, embrace themselves in Spanish culture, and just to have fun!
