Personal comments:
I chose to study in Spain, because I had lived there earlier learning spanish, and I saw it as a possibility to go back and improve and practise my spanish. That was also the reason why I chose to arrange with accomodation for my self. The first time I lived in Spain I lived with international student, and I spoke english a lot. This time I wanted to speak spanish and get to know the spanish culture more profoundly.

Personal comments:
- because murcia weren't a kind of turistiv city there weren't so many people how could talk with you in english pretty well. so you was forced to learn a good spanish to get in contact with the natives. but in Murcia all inhabitants were really open and friendly and they helped me a lot to learn spanish.
