Universitat de Girona (UDG)

The main reason I chose Spain was that I wanted to improve my Spanish, although in Girona(Catalonia) people speak mostly Catalan(Spanish usually when dealing with strangers). In the beginning communicating with local people was difficult, as they don't speak English or their English isn't very good. My Spanish in the beginning was very simple, but it got better with time. The difficulty was that everywhere I could hear Catalan, and Spanish only sometimes. I didn't really try to learn Catalan, so as not to mix it with Spanish, but I also learnt it a bit, mostly reading. In spite of all the difficulties, my level of Spanish improved significantly and I have some basics of Catalan, which I find quite satisfying.

In a first time it was difficult ot improve my spanish even because i was living with two boys from england.. so we were speaking in english. But after 6 weeks i could speak really a good spanish.

nice
