SPANISH HOUSE. Students immerse themselves in a foreign language—Spanish this year—by speaking it exclusively while "at home." Spanish House director José Pérez Prol, born in Havana, Cuba, has studied accounting at Antonio Guiteras’ Politechnical Institute and history at the University of Havana and has also taken courses in electro-acoustic music. His interest in literature, movies, photography, and music helps Language House residents and others better understand contemporary Cuban life.
