Hi Jessica,

The classes went very well; I think I learned a lot and I met a lot of interesting people at Tandem. Interacting is a great company; everyone is very nice and the atmosphere is very friendly. I'm glad to hear that they're happy with me too. Thanks so much for arranging everything. I can't believe how amazingly helpful and efficient you've been. You guys are awesome!
Muchas gracias,
Daisy

Dear Jill,

Thank you so much for everything! I am very sorry that I did not get the chance to meet up with you, but I´ll be here much longer. I met with Ivi. She was wonderful, and answered all my questions. I love living with Mari Cruz and Dani; they are very nice. Mari Cruz and I go out and try sangria this weekend, so I´m getting tons of authentic Madrid life! I am also having a wonderful time at Tommy Hilfiger. It is quite the experience, and my Spanish is bound to get better here with so much of it going around! (Mari Cruz and Dani have been very helpful with that as well.) I am sad to have to leave my classes, but I did meet some great people who I hope to keep in contact with! So I just wanted to email you and thank you for all your help! I´m having a wonderful time! If you have someone that would like to ask me questions, that´s fine as well. Buenos días!

Muchas gracias,
Annie Pham

¿Que tal, Jill?

I just wanted to drop you a note to say HOLA! My internship with American Express is going great! I couldn´t be happier. The people at the office are wonderful and I learn new things every day. Most of the time I work on the computer and help prepare presentations in Power Point for the sales representative and I also translate various documents from Spanish to English. I absolutely love living here in Madrid and I hope that I am able to stay longer than just three months. I thought it might be nice for you to receive a positive email! I hope all is well with you!

Take care!

Nora

Hi Jill,

There are a number of reasons why my internship at Pepe Jeans will be my best experience in Spain.

First of all, it allowed me the opportunity to work in the fashion industry, a field different from my college major.

This experience also gave me many cultural insights. You will get to live and be a part of the Spanish business culture - hands on. You will get to meet great natives (locals) and work with clients. Most importantly you will be learning the language.

The advice I would like to give to future interns is DO IT. It will be an experience of a lifetime. You only live once. What is 6 months or one year in another country?!!

Hello, Jill:

Greta is very enthusiastic about her experience so far in Madrid. She is delighted with her home family and seems to be learning a lot about the city, people, and way of life. She loves meeting new people and is enjoying the program and her work place.
