Personal comments
At first it was difficult to understant the andalucian accent, as they speak very quickly and cut the words in half. I joined a theatre group and it was the best way to integrate with local students and at the end of the year I had no problems in communication.

Personal comments
The academic system is very different to England and you have to be more patient. It is mainly teachers that rule the class you do not really have the chance to speak out. Still keep on trying.

Final comments
Make sure to travel loads as this is a unique oppurtunity and no matter how hard it is try to get to know more local people then Erasmus students. Intercambio which is exchange of talking english and spanish is a great way to start, also I got to know my closest friend that way.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I think living with random people and having your own space you are more independent and learn to integrate easier with people from different countries and cultures.
