Personal comments
the best bar in madrid is certainly the Honky-Tonk bar, with concerts everyday and rock music for everybody. you have also to visit the museums (Prado and thyssen)where the most famous pinter are exposed. during the week-end you have to do the retiro market, a famous tipical spanish market and finish your day in the Rastro park, where you can take the sun listening Djumbe music and meeting people.

at the bigining it was hard to speak and during the first week i was listening without speaking, but afeter i started to speak ad when you have conversation with teachers, students, or people in the street or bar you improve yourself realy faster. but becarful to don't stay only with students speaking your language.
