"I loved Madrid, I had such a rich experience and my year abroad just flew by. When I arrived in Spain I knew the basics of the language and struggled a bit in my first few classes, and now it feels amazing to be completely fluent. My time in Spain was fantastic and I gained so much from my studies there."
