So, Steven, why did you decide to spend a year studying abroad?
Well, generally I thought it would be an adventure and a great learning opportunity to live in a
totally different culture. I chose Mexico because I have been learning Spanish now for three years
and I wanted to improve my language skills.
What have been the best parts of your experience so far?
It's very difficult to choose just a few, but one of the best things has definitely been the experience of
living with a host family. Mexicans are very warm, outgoing people and my hosts have been treating me
like part of their family. During my first week, they invited their whole family for dinner to meet me and
it was fun but quite overwhelming trying to answer all their questions in Spanish. I've also been learning
to slow down and relax and take an afternoon siesta after a big lunch, like the rest of the family! It's been
fantastic living in one of Mexico's oldest cities, too, with its beautiful 16th century architecture. It's a
great feeling when you start to feel like you belong in a foreign place. Little things like knowing the
answer when strangers ask you for directions or getting around without getting lost are so rewarding.
And what about the challenging parts?
Well, I've been struggling a bit to get used to the hot weather, but now I wear a hat. It was also
difficult to get used to the spicy food, but now I'm really enjoying it. I still have difficulty
understanding social etiquette. Last week, for example, a new Mexican friend invited me for dinner
and I turned up exactly on time. My host seemed a bit surprised. I found out later that Mexicans
usually turn up for an appointment at least half an hour late.
What would you say to other young people considering studying abroad?
Go for it! Without a doubt, this has been the best experience of my life so far. I've become more self-
confident, patient and outgoing, and my Spanish has improved even more than I expected. ​
