Plus they'd force you to actively speak the language and familarize you with the surroundings and culture.

You just get an insight of a whole people/culture/language if you are "on the inside." True, the situation may turn out completely unliveable and horrifying, but you could also make friends for life.<BR/><BR/>Could you bail if it went south?liz jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041680151674216776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239298816780276829.post-75088972199780737152008-01-12T15:42:00.000-08:002008-01-12T15:42:00.000-08:00Are you kidding?

Excellent point. <BR/>What draws me to "host families" is that OTHER students share housing with you, which I thought would be a good community feel. Also, host families would expose me to more Spanish, whereas living solo would expose me to more music on iPod (that's right, I'm taking my boyfriend with me!).f*bomb.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16995465654424549297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239298816780276829.post-52196184321084359812008-01-11T02:11:00.000-08:002008-01-11T02:11:00.000-08:00My suggestion- live by yourself, you never know wh...My suggestion- live by yourself, you never know what you're oging to get living with a host family.Salt H2Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530132008817346271noreply@blogger.com
