I've studied abroad for a month in Vancouver, Canada.

How and why did you decide to Study Abroad?

Anything else?
A great thing about the program here is that we have the ability to get to know more about Spanish culture. The "normal" classes are fun, we learn grammar while talking a lot. And at the culture classes, we can relax while talking, watching Spanish movies, reading Spanish poems, etc.
