SIT Study Abroad student Margaret Ormsbee, Jordan Summer 2008, talks about her homestay family. “They say eat, eat, eat. All the time eat.”
Students on SIT Study Abroad programs often spend a great deal of their time practicing the local language. Our summer Jordan program provides non-stop opportunity to bring the Arabic language out of the classroom and into daily life. Yesterday Alejandra Pallais, Director of Constituent Relations, had a chance to spend some time with several of our Jordan study abroad participants, and was able to capture a bit of a discussion in a local Jordanian park.
