Find your new family in Uruguay, one of Latin America’s smallest countries! You will spend a year or a semester studying in an Uruguayan high school, learning the local Rioplatense Spanish dialect, and making the best friends of your life on the football field and the dance floor. Your host family will treat you like one of their own children, from curfews and chores to the warmest extended family welcomes and most delicious barbecues you’ve ever tasted!
