Hi folks,
Lurker turned poster here.
Any reserves about doing a 5-week advanced Spanish study abroad in June at Pucamaima (Santiago) for foreigners, with a homestay. I'm considering it, but my friend from Bogota keeps insisting that it will corrupt my Spanish, that it will be boiling/dangerous/full of creeps ("ghetto" was her word :ermm. I know there is a tendency to talk fast, drop letters, all that. Do you think I would encounter that in an academic setting? Anyone do anything similar? This would be my first DR experience.
Thanks for any tips...
