 I chose the MLTA program at Pompeii Fabra because I wanted the opportunity to live in a linguistically rich environment while pursuing my master's in linguistics. The UPF Master's which is perfect for this purpose. It was what really came to my mind and the one that gave me the most options to get to know this field was this master. The teachers are very accessible. It is easy to contact them to discuss topics of linguistic interest, without losing professionalism that requires a master's degree like this. It has been a very international experience. For its purpose I would recommend the master's in the applied theoretical linguistics. I have learned a lot about how linguistics is seen worldwide thanks to the fact that the students and my classmates come from different parts of the world. It is a program to anyone who wants to grow as both a researcher and as a scholar of linguistics. This has especially helped me now since I am a PhD student back in the United States. I am currently working as a contractor for a company called The Deco. My current assignment is at Google and I work with text-to-speech for US English. The experience was very good and intense. This means that you have to work a lot. But at the same time it also gives you the opportunity to try out these specializations. I would recommend it in the first place because the academic level is very good, the training is very good, and for me this made it personally very enriching. Students together mean that you can completely personalize the program. It was useful to me to find out which areas are the ones that I wanted to dedicate more specifically, the ones that I wanted to deepen. It is effective. Professionality. Extraordinary. Intense. Motivative. Outstanding. Dynamic.
