STUDYING IN PARAGUAY
Landlocked Paraguay is bisected by Rio Paraguay. West of the river, the hot infertile plain known as the Gran Chaco is sparsely settled and less explored than the Amazon. Ninety-eight percent of the population lives instead in Paraguay’s more verdant eastern half. Until recently, the government isolated Paraguay both politically and economically, and though the country was once a colony of Spain, more Paraguayans are fluent in Guaraní, the native language, than they are in Spanish. Recently, however, Paraguay began to shake off its self-absorption, and the capital, Asunción, is modernizing. Yet Guaraní still sell feathered headdresses as well as bows and arrows on Asunción’s plazas, and life throughout the country preserves an old-fashioned pace and courtesy.
School
School is one of the best places to meet people and make friends during your time in Paraguay. It gives opportunities for intensive practice of Spanish and helps to immerse you into the culture and community.
LIVING IN PARAGUAY
Lifestyle and Family Living
Paraguay is steeped in tradition. It proudly keeps alive its native arts, crafts, music, instruments and dance. The original inhabitants of eastern Paraguay were semi-nomadic native Americans of various tribes collectively known as Guaraní because of their common language.
Dress and Appearance
In general, it is wise to bring casual clothing. Participants are also encouraged to bring one or two nice outfits (dress shirts and ties for men, skirts and blouses or dresses for women) for special occasions. Cotton clothing is suggested for the hot and humid weather. Bring jeans, shorts (for sports), a raincoat, an umbrella and a swimsuit. Sweaters, pullovers and a warm jacket are necessary for cooler days. Remember that most homes do not have central heating.
