Learning foreign languages at USC has allowed me to access a vast world of non-English texts that were instrumental to my historical research. For me, nothing compares to the experience of reading a text in the original language. It’s a very human feeling. You feel such a wonderful connection to a person who comes from a completely different perspective than you. You get a much better and richer understanding of the source as well. I will continue to study languages after I graduate, and USC has instilled in me both a strong passion and a valuable skillset for learning foreign languages.

My love for languages bloomed when I took my first Spanish class as a freshman at USC. Ever since, I have had the opportunity to grow in my Spanish abilities at an advanced level, and also begin learning Persian. Studying, and engaging in the language learning community inspired me to help start Trojan Bloom, USC’s first multilingual journal to give students on campus a platform to share their creative works in foreign languages. As a graduating senior, seeing the community grow everyday inspires me so much to continue studying languages!
