“Realizing how much my Spanish improved was incredibly rewarding. I learned some vocabulary and some grammar, but what improved most was my ability to speak without being afraid. I know that when I return to school I will no longer be afraid to speak in front of my class in Spanish.”
—Li A., Stuyvesant High School, Brooklyn, NY
