Here is his story&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am Carlo, who is currently studying literature at the University of the Philippines. My paternal grandparents who were successful in their days as barristers spoke and taught Spanish in the province of Nueva Ecija. My father was the youngest among his siblings, and so, I was introduced to my <em>abuela<\/em> at a young age. My fondest memories of her were not ones where she displayed vigor and youthful beauty, but rather ones that mostly involved convincing her that I was not my other cousin Paolo, just because our names sounded alike. In spite of her struggles with memory and the frailty of old age, I noticed a glinting semblance of the vigor she was known for when she told me to study Spanish and to keep reading.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, I have kept her advice close to my heart, and from simpler childhood stories I have now ventured towards tackling the world\u2019s literary treasures, Julio Cortaz\u00e1r\u2019s <em>Rayuelo<\/em> or <em>Hopscotch<\/em> included. This avant-garde novel of the Latin American Boom described the sophistication of Buenos Aires, almost a tacit call for me to visit the elegant city. As such I\u2019ve decided to study Spanish through Mente Argentina, a programme that caters towards university students in particular.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6612.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6612-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6612\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6612-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6612-696x460.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6612-741x486.jpg 741w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6612-635x420.jpg 635w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6612.jpg 984w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Studying a foreign language is essential in a literature programme in my university, where twelve units of a language depending on the choice of concentration are compulsory for all comparative literature students. I elected to take Spanish because I had already taken lessons previously with a private tutor from Madrid. Taking an intensive programme in the summer allows me to hone my skills and be better equipped at understanding Latin American and other Hispanic texts. Additionally, immersion in a country that speaks the language allows me to practice what I have learned even through mundane conversations at caf\u00e9s, stores, beyond the four walls of the classroom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6611.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6611-300x229.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_6611\" width=\"300\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6611-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6611-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6611-696x530.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6611-551x420.jpg 551w, https:\/\/www.menteargentina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_6611.jpg 984w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The most invaluable experience I\u00a0have gained in participating in this programme would be the cosmopolitan privilege of acquainting myself with a rich culture that vastly differs from mine.

This stubborn admiration comes from a colonial mentality that has been ingrained in my countrymen and one that can only be cured by allowing ourselves to be displaced from a comfortable fixation at home and into an entirely unfamiliar environment of its own unparalleled beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlo from the Philippines joined us for our University Spanish Program.
