Coming to Bilbao in September 2018 on my Erasmus was the greatest decsion I could make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I spoke only Polish and English and the very first day I met my landlady (who was obviously Spanish) all I was able to say in Spanish was: \u00a1Hola! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I took advantage of the Intensive Spanish Course<\/strong> that the University of Deusto in Bilbao offered me and all Erasmus Students. Day by day I was gaining knowledge on how to introduce myself, what I am doing in Bilbao, make a short conversation and respond to basics questions<\/strong>. Afterwards, I attended the Regular Spanish Course. That was also fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n I just loved the way our lecturer was teaching us. She was deeply involved in classes. What’s wonderful is that I was becoming more confident<\/strong> when it came to speaking with locals, in shops and bars. Honestly, the more I spoke in Spanish and the more I understood it the more familiar Spanish culture was for me. I was feeling like at home because I could understand what people around me were talking about, what signs mean, etc. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n There is no better way to get to know the Spanish people and country than showing our effort and willingness by learning its language<\/strong>. When I was about to leave Bilbao my Spanish level was A2.1. I was able to order and return stuff I purchased online or in store. I also said a few kind words to my teachers and landlady in Spanish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This adventure didn’t end. It still goes on. Now in Cracow (Poland), I attend Spanish classes in Instituto Cervantes. The classes are running by Jose from South Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guys, don’t be afraid, everyone starts something from scratches and in my case it was Spanish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maks<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Coming to Bilbao in September 2018 on my Erasmus was the greatest decsion I could make.”<\/p>\n Maks Grylowski (Poland) Continue Reading
