Listen in as Sarah shares her story of moving abroad to France for an intense immersion program. Sarah shares her discovery of immersion as a way to learn a language, her expectations, and struggles living abroad in an intense language learning environment. While her experience was in an immersion program in the country, Sarah explains the concept of an immersion spectrum, allowing me to identify my experience along the spectrum. We compare and contrast various aspects of our diverse experiences learning a language while living abroad, talk about the role of family in our language choices, and what we envision for the language community.
