27 de Julio

Now it´s time for me to return to the United States. However, I don´t want to go back at the moment. After the second week of July, I was began to have fun. When I met these graduate students, I said, ¨these are the coolest people that I ever met.¨ Also, I felt that I didn´t accomplish much with speaking spanish. I didn´t really began speaking more spanish until the end of the second week. I couldn´t converse much with the host-mother much because of my lack of proficiency in spanish. Also, when I was in class, I had understood about 10 percent of what the professor was lecturing, in my spanish culture class.

My suggestion is when I want to participate in another study abroad program, I will take more than 2 foreign language classes. Therefore, I will be more confident to speak the language in that country. I wasn´t consistent with spanish, so that is why I felt like I didn´t accomplish the way I would like. I´m not trying to be hard on myself, but I could have put more effort. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in this program. It gave me some insights on what to expect in a study abroad program in the future. I would like to participate in another abroad program, but before I do, I will take more than 2 language classes.

Mi permanece en conjunto en Salamanca fue bien. En Madrid, fui a el museo de Prado. En Salamanca, tuve cuatro classes. Mi classes en Salamanca fueron mas o menos. Yo necessito aprender mas español, especialement escuchar. Entonces, fui comer a quatro restaurantes: Shawania, un restaurante de China, y dos restaurante esa tiene muchas pastas. Fui visitar tres cathedrales en Salamanca, fui compre las zapatoes, los regalos, y el botelle de vino para mi madre en Estados Unidos. Me gusta los edificios porque le arte en el cathedral.
