My experiences studying language at Carthage have been exceptional. I took Spanish classes in high school that taught the different forms of grammar and vocabulary, but that did not focus on speaking the language.
Here at Carthage, I have found a unique blend of the two. The professors that I have had created a comfortable environment to learn the grammar and vocabulary, but they have gone further in encouraging and promoting the practice of the use of one's knowledge by speaking.
The total classroom immersion in the language has been very useful in encouraging even the most timid students to speak and practice their oral skills. I very much value my experience studying language here at Carthage.
