Universidad de Murcia (UM)

I chose to study in Spain, because I had lived there earlier learning spanish, and I saw it as a possibility to go back and improve and practise my spanish. That was also the reason why I chose to arrange with accomodation for my self. The first time I lived in Spain I lived with international student, and I spoke english a lot. This time I wanted to speak spanish and get to know the spanish culture more profoundly.

- because murcia weren't a kind of turistiv city there weren't so many people how could talk with you in english pretty well. so you was forced to learn a good spanish to get in contact with the natives. but in Murcia all inhabitants were really open and friendly and they helped me a lot to learn spanish.

I feel that there has been a big improvement in my language ability since arriving in Murcia. Interaction with Spanish students/local people is a must!

At first I didn't speeak Spanish at all. I attended an intensive language course, and a four month course. My flatmates helped with the language.

It is easy to learn spanish because usually people do not use to speak english easily. Of course you can always speak english with the international students if you prefer.

It's easy to learn spanish in spain. people are very open to strangers and at parties you make new friends within 5 minutes!
