"My name is Wenwei and I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Romance Studies. After I graduated, I spent an entire year by myself in Chile and Argentina to improve my Spanish and explore unfamiliar cultures. Before being able to speak fluent Spanish, I depended on my Spanish professors and TAs to provide both a formal and conversational overview of the language.
