Universidad de la Rioja (UR)

From the very first moment I arrived in Logrono, I was forced to speak Spanish, and although this was somewhat terrifying, it was brilliant for my Spanish! In general people were very patient and made every effort to communicate with you, infact being an erasmus student was a type of celebrity- local newspapers were very eager to interview you, and university lecturers were always delighted to have you in their class! If you make the effort to speak the language the local community will recieve you very well. You will find over the year that you are communicating better and better each day, just make lots of Spanish friends and go to your lectures!

It was a wonderful way to learn Spanish
