Study Abroad- Madrid, Spain
I decided to study abroad in Madrid, Spain for a semester. It has been one of my best experiences so far. Through my time in Spain I have become truly immersed into the Spanish culture, especially the one in Madrid. I chose Spain because during some of my courses we studied about Spanish culture and literature. Since the moment I began reading about Spain I became intrigued to learn more. Arriving to Spain had its struggle, you have to understand the city, learn about the methods of transportations, adapt to a new school, new food, and new traditions. Another experience about studying abroad is that you meet people from all over the world. My courses are composed of people from Australia, France, Ireland, Mexico and many other places. You are not only expose to the Spanish culture but within school you are exposed to other cultures. While in Spain one gets to practice Spanish, even though it is slightly different one learns about the different lexicon, grammar and phrases that are used here. |
