Course recommendations:
Remember that if you have the ability to choose language courses, these usually take ERASMUS students under consideration and give you time to enjoy the occasion of being abroad besides studying. Remember not to choose courses that are above your level of comprehension for this will not give you any time to enjoy yourself.. It´s important to have time outside of school where you can get to know spanish speaking people. The best way to learn a new language is speaking and interacting with people from there!
