STUDYING SPANISH IN SPAIN

Language courses in Spain are becoming a wildly popular way of gaining
knowledge of the world’s second most important language while enjoying
the many cultural gems the country has to offer.

Approximately 150,000 people each year decide to study Spanish in Spain, a figure that
has brought an overall level of quality to Spanish schools in Spain
that perhaps can’t be paralleled in other countries where the official
language is Spanish; schools in Spain have extensive experience with
students form all ages, walks of life and levels of knowledge in the
language.

Cultural immersion is the most effective, enjoyable and quick way to
learn Spanish. Courses in Spain are particularly enjoyable and
interesting because there’s so much history and culture to discover in
Spain, and cultural studies and class outings nearly always form part
of the study program.

A Spanish course in Spain is a great way to earn college credits and
add attractiveness to a resume or CV. There’s a big difference, from an
employer’s point of view, between taking a regular course locally and
showing the initiative to travel to a foreign country for a truly
immersive Spanish language course. Spain is also seen increasingly as
an important center of business, bridging Europe with South America and
other Spanish-speaking countries.

Many tourists decide to combine leisure with learning by enrolling in
intensive Spanish language courses - Spain has a huge selection of
cities and schools to choose from - in various parts of the country,
enjoying diverse experiences and deepening their knowledge of the
language as they move between two or even three locations.

Typically, young college-age students tend to study Spanish at Salamanca
University
, since the city has a particularly fresh and young
atmosphere. Salamanca University Spanish courses have a solid
reputation that matches the University’s own standing as one of Spain’s
best universities. As opposed to private schools offering Spanish
courses, Salamanca University has developed a unique program bolstered
by its extensive resources and contact with other universities
throughout the world.

Another popular destination for young people interested in studying
Spanish is Malaga University. Spanish in Andalusia has a distinctive
accent, no doubt, but this is true nearly everywhere in Spain and
instructors of Malaga University Spanish courses teach the most neutral
form of the language.

Malaga (the unofficial capital of the Costa del Sol) is a fun city,
particularly during the summer. The city has an active nightlife and
plenty of beaches, with access to some truly extraordinary coastlines
and mountain villages nearby.

Spanish courses at Malaga University are appealing to so many young
foreign students because they’re a perfect way to enjoy a fun, relaxed
summer environment while learning something that will be of real use to
them throughout their lives.


Sevilla F.C.

 

Sevilla F.C.’s president, Jose María del Nido just introduced officialy Di Sanctis (Udinese), the new goalkeeper for season

Jose Maria del Nido

07/08. He also remarked there wouldn’t be media pressure about selling players. A few days ago, Kanouté said to the press he wanted to earn more money, and that if he couldn’t he would return to England. That’s why Del Nido also reminded that the player had 2 years contract left.

Sevilla (as UEFA cup winner) is preparing its team for the match against Milan (as champions league winner), so even now the players must keep concentrated.

This year Sevilla proved it was one of the best teams in Spain, and they deserve winning the league, but they weren’ t lucky. Anyway, they won UEFA cup against RCD Espanyol (another Spanish team) and the King’s cup against Getafe CF (these days famous because of Schuster’s abandoning and of Michael Laudrup’s signing as new coach).

Sevilla F.C. fans were hungry for winning all trophys they could, and it looks like it will remain like that for next season. These days, Sevilla has become one of our most international teams in the world.
