<p>summer 2012 im studying abroad for 4 weeks in paris and for the 2013/2014 i plan to study abroad in peru that fall and either senegal or morocco that spring. I also want to add a summer 2014 study abroad to either egypt or yemen. </p>
<p>Do you think this is too much? I'm doing all of this for language acquisition. For Arabic, I'm learning a dialect which is way easier than MSA so spending only a summer there doesn't seem so ridiculous.</p>
<p>Also, which country is better for learning french: morocco or senegal?</p>
<p>paris-summer 2012
peru-fall semester 2013 (sept-dec)
egypt-spring 2014 (jan-may)
senegal-summer 2014 (may/june-july)</p>
<p>I did it (Spain, Germany, Italy). You’ll have an incredible experience.</p>
<p>To immerse yourself in a foreign culture…and then another…and then another is an incredibly enriching experience. I can’t even begin to describe it – but those of us who have done it know what it’s like and we know what the benefits are. It’s study abroad x100.</p>
<p>Paris and Peru will be easiest. Paris can be pricey.</p>
<p>Morocco or Senegal…entirely up to you. In both cases, you will be learning a slightly less “standard” French. If your goal is language acquisition you might want to stick it out in one place longer term.</p>
<p>Arabic is a whole other ballgame. Any time you spend in a country, especially if you are doing immersion courses, is totally worth it, totally valuable – but Arabic requires a greater time investment if you really want to get it under your belt.</p>
<p>In any case, you are lucky that you are focusing on languages – there are language schools in all the countries you mentioned and some of them are awesome bargains price-wise…and their effective! I know…I did it.</p>
<p>Is it too much? It’s ambitious. But it’s not too much.</p>
