Personal comments
The reason why I chose Spain as an Erasmus student was because I could not speak a word of Spanish and really wanted to learn the language. The other reason was because I did not know much about the country and the culture. I really enjoyed my stay in Salamanca which is a beautiful city. I got to learn Spanish quite quickly and I loved the culture. It was also a very good opportunity to meet other people and other students from all over the world. The University education in languages was very strict but very good. It was a very good experience!
