“Being in Dakar was a fantastic way to improve my French while learning about a new culture in a hands on manner. I was able to explore Dakar in so many ways, through classes which gave a historical and broad perspective of the society, through my host family, which brought cultural differences into reality day after day, and through new friends who shared their life openly with me. Teranga- Senegalese hospitality- is no joke. I felt at home in Dakar after 2 months and didn't want to leave. ” —E.M., Duke University
