Taisse Torres-Lorenzo is a 2020-2021 FLAS fellow studying Portuguese

"One of the reasons I’m taking Portuguese is because I think it’s an interesting language and since I already speak Spanish, I felt like it would be a good transition. Also, since my goal is to be a psychologist, I want my patients to be able to express themselves in whatever language they feel more comfortable, which is a big motivator in my quest to learn multiple languages. There are people from every country and that speak many languages here and I want them to have the opportunity to find someone they can communicate with easily."
