Would you recommend this summer programme? How has it impacted your life?
Indeed. The programme not only teaches you the lovely Spanish language, but it also forces you to be surrounded by Spanish which in itself is a great experience to know their cultures.
I had the opportunity to meet new people who shares different culture than me, which was great as you get to broaden your perspectives. Academically, I observed many interesting and effective techniques on how to teach a new language, which is extremely beneficial for my major.
What activities were organised by your programme? Did one in particular stand out as your favourite?
Variety of activities like visiting churches, The University of Salamanca, and many museums. The one I liked the most was when we visited Leronimus Tower (Old Cathedral), as we saw the beauty of the architecture art inside the the church and observed Salamanca from the top of the tower.
How has this summer programme improved your Spanish?
It has improved dramatically.
Even though it was just one month, I have learned enough Spanish that I was able to go to cafes, restaurants, shops and manage to maintain understandable conversations.
What is your favourite memory of your summer programme?
The school itself. In addition to the fact that the learning was fun and enjoyable, it was also intensive in a positive way and included so many interesting cultural topics. All in Spanish!
