Personal comments
At first I wasn´t able to undersand very well what the teachers were talking about or my Spanish collegues, so I had to make an effort to cope with this, but because I was taking a Spanish course, soon it was no problem. It was very interesting learning in another language.. overall, it was pretty good and in the end there were no problems for me in this field of communication

It was useful to follow an intensive language course during the first three weeks of my stay in Zaragoza. However, to ensure a sufficient level of language skills, proactivity is required.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because you live with natives and you can practice speaking with them and learn about their culture. Also, you have more independence and one can come and go as they plase and eat when one wants.

Hardly anybody speaks english, which makes the first weeks hard but helps to learn spanish quickly.
It can be really exhausting to find any job. 6 Euros/hour are already good!
