it was great. i met lots of spaniards throughout the year, which is how i acquired most of my language skills. granada is one of the most difficult places to learn spanish in because the people of that region speak with an accent that is quite different from the standard castilian accent

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
it is much more enriching to search and find your own place to live that to have someone else take care of things for you. also gives you te chance to meet lots of new people as you roam the streets looking for an apartment.
