I love the French language, however, while going about my daily life in the U.S. I often find myself thinking &#8220;Wow, I wish I knew Spanish.&#8221; With the growing Latino population in the States, being able to speak Spanish would be very helpful. So when my best friend told me that she was going to Argentina for a gap year after graduation and that I should come along, I thought it seemed like a wonderful opportunity for me to explore more of the world, and to learn Spanish!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6361\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6361.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I graduated from college with majors in Global Studies and French with a minor in Business Studies. I hope to pursue a career in International Business of some sort so learning a third language would very much align with my long-term professional goals. I think that being bilingual or multilingual puts you at an advantage not only in the workplace, but also intellectually and personally because it allows you to see the world from new perspectives, and to genuinely experience and better understand cultures different from your own.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6362\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6362.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I grew up in the U.S. in a suburban wealthy town with little diversity, and all I wanted to do was get out and see the world. I had never been to Europe before so my junior year in college I decided to embark on a year-long adventure. The first semester living in Marseilles, France and the second in Paris. I had the time of my life and learned so much about people who were different from myself, who grew up speaking different languages, eating different foods, practicing different religions, perceiving the concept of time differently, and I felt like my world had opened up. From that experience I knew that I would be able to learn and grow even more during my time in South America and in Argentina.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6366\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_6366.jpg 1530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The running joke when Emma was with us in Buenos Aires was that It doesn&#8217;t really count as a really count as a Mente event if we don&#8217;t get a solo pic of Emma.
