In this episode of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) Metropolitan New York Chapter Podcast, host Alan Hartman sits down with Leslie Gale, Executive Director of Xperitas, and Jeff Wells of Carlos V Education to explore the transformative power of studying abroad. Drawing from their own experiences, all three educators reflect on how international immersion shaped their personal and professional journeys, and why these opportunities remain essential for language learners today.
