Although choice is great, it means you can easily slip up and choose something which maybe doesn’t suit you as well as the ideal course would. On the other hand, you are now in a position to choose something which fits you perfectly. So, you have to research! What languages or cultures do you have an interest in? Are you prepared to live far from home for many weeks (or even months)? What level of language learning are you already at? You can often take specialised language courses - say, a course from a nursing school mixed with a Spanish course would allow you to learn all relevant/specialised vocabulary – so think about what you would like to do as a career (some well sourced career education advice can help you in deciding this).

Mi educación (escuela de idiomas) de todo el año pendía de un hilo y lo que era peor, podía repetirse por completo de reprobar el examen (university degree), no estaba dispuesto a caer en ese escenario así que ataqué el examen. Primer pregunta: dónde se libró la batalla final de la Primera Guerra Mundial? La verdad en ese instante me di cuenta que no sabía nada al menos en aquel contexto pero que esa misma pregunta hace unos 20 años la hubiese contestado con total normalidad, lo que me llevo a otra observación que hasta entonces había pasado inadvertida o no? Claro, debí haberlo notado, por qué no encajaba en mi pupitre si todo el tiempo me quejaba de mi delgadez? Y me observé como se debe haber observado el hombre cuando tomó conciencia de su existencia. Era otra persona, estaba allí y no estaba, mejor dicho me había trasladado a ese ahora con mi cuerpo actual que por supuesto hacía denodados esfuerzos por distribuirse en la carpeta.

Sprachschulen (university education) gibt es in den Touristenzentren Spaniens wie Andalusien, Costa Brava, den Kanarischen Inseln oder den Balearen. Auch in den grossen Städten wie Barcelona oder Madrid gibt es Sprachschulen. Man hat die Wahl zwischen verschiedenen Kursarten: Intensivkurse, Einzelunterricht, Superintensiv...Die Lehrer sind Muttersprachler und sprechen meistens kein Englisch oder Deutsch, daher ist man gezwungen Spanisch zu sprechen. Der Vorteil einer Sprachreise ist, dass man gleichzeitig Sprache und Kultur lernen kann indem man in dem jeweiligen Land lebt. Nebenbei lernt man neue Freunde aus der ganzen Welt kennen. Eine Sprachreise lohnt sich also immer: Sprachen studieren, Spass und Urlaub.

For learning English you can go to Ireland (Cursos de ingles Irlanda) or England (Cursos ingles Londres, Sprachkurse Englisch).

The students in these schools are allowed to listen to sound files to teach them how to pronounce the language correctly, especially those who want to further improve their understanding of spoken German. Some German language schools (curso de idioma) offer courses that cover communicative language skills specifically for business executives, legal courses focusing on German and European laws, and latest literature developments for professionals who teach German.

But getting a good job (teacher resource) after college depends so much on the educational foundation a student had while student travel (study language abroad). Some students prefer to complete their high school in a public school while others enroll in private educational institutions (school education).

Esta ciudad está situada en una isla que se conecta a ‘tierra firme’ a través de una serie de puentes, además uno de sus puntos turísticos (travel guide) más fuertes es el volcán Mont Royal, así como Vieux Montreal que es la parte más antigua de la ciudad (real estate france) o Square Dorchester que es el punto más comercial de ella. Por tanto, una ciudad así de hermosa no puede ofrecerle menos para que aprenda su idioma.

Ya que su vida cambiara al 100%, es decir que pasará las 24 horas del día sumergido en esa lengua, sus capacidades para la adquisición del lenguaje se verán grandemente contribuidas. En este aspecto juega un papel importante que elija bien la entidad en la que se desarrollará puesto que hay algunas de estas instituciones que proponen una enseñanza conjunta, es decir, además de las clases del idioma (abroad language) también le proponen hacer paseos turísticos (travel guide) hacia las zonas de mayor apogeo por los turistas. En este caso, son los mismos profesores los que se encargan de hacer el respectivo tour y de guiarlos por las distintas zonas. Este método de aprendizaje, mezcla clases del idioma más el debido acercamiento cultural a las zonas turísticas del país, para que el resultado sea el óptimo.

Debido a la gran geografía (curso de distancia) que abarca nuestro idioma (es decir, casi todo el continente Americano), nuestra lengua española ha sufrido muchos cambios. Desde su creación, allá por los días de Castilla, hasta nuestros días, estos días globalizantes (curso de formacion al extranjero), el español ha sufrido, sigue y seguirá sufriendo transformaciones que enriquecerán su léxico. Así, encontramos un tipo de español distinto que se habla en cada país de este continente: las jergas cambian de frontera en frontera, las nuevas palabras que se crean también lo hacen y hasta a veces hay recortes de ‘s’ finales, cambios de ‘r’ por ‘l’, entre otros.
Sin embargo, al momento de comunicarnos, todos usamos un español estándar que nos lleva a una efectiva comunicación (aunque en algunos casos se deba de aclarar algunas cosas).

Sin embargo y como es bien sabido, aprender una lengua en el mismo país (hotel and travel) donde se habla es un aliciente para el estudiante puesto que lengua y cultura se verán mezcladas en una sola y por lo tanto, el estudiante no requerirá mayor tiempo de estudio (como si lo requeriría en su país natal).

Otra opción dentro de su paquete de cable, es la programación de películas que tiene traducción al español en la parte baja (foreign language). Si usted piensa que aún no domina el idioma tanto como para sólo escucharlo, entonces una buena opción sería optar por las películas que usualmente tienen subtítulos de traducción. Esto le ayudará a no sentirse ‘perdido’ y a ubicar más rápido las palabras usuales, las interjecciones y hasta los sentidos propios de una lengua ( es decir, esas frases que al traducirlas no tienen el mismo significado que en el ámbito coloquial adquieren).

Por esto, yo le recomiendo practicar su idioma a través de este efectivo medio, ya con el tiempo podrá verificar que la lengua en cuestión está mejorando y que las nuevas estructuras sintagmáticas que aprenda, no serán un problema.

]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2007 10:45:15 +0100 Learn Spanish in Spain http://learnlanguages.nireblog.com/post/2007/07/03/learn-spanish-in-spain http://learnlanguages.nireblog.com/post/2007/07/03/learn-spanish-in-spain Spanish is undoubtedly the growth language in the world at the moment; it is now spoken by an estimated 352 million people as a first language (with a further 417 million speaking it as a second language) making it the second or third most widely spoken language in the world. Hispanic nations are also showing strong economic growth so the potential for work opportunities in Spanish speaking countries for those learning Spanish, is increasing everyday. Spanish is now arguably the second most influential language in the world behind English and in all is spoken in 21 countries around the world. South America, with the exception from Brazil, is entirely Spanish speaking, as well as areas of Africa, the Caribbean and an ever growing Hispanic community in the USA. Which such a huge and diverse Spanish speaking world community, it’s without a doubt one of the most useful languages to learn – a Spanish language course could open up many opportunities in terms of work and travel throughout the Spanish speaking world.

Spanish language schools in Spain and South America offer students more than just the opportunity to study Spanish in the classroom. The concept of cultural immersion encourages students to extend their learning to outside the classroom. Students get the chance to interact with locals in everyday situations whether it’s simply ordering some food or attempting a full-blown conversation on the day’s issues. This is also a great help in giving students a solid cultural grounding, many language schools in Spain offer extra-curricular activities and excursions to assist with this process. The whole experience of a foreign country adds to the excitement, not only do you get the chance to learn Spanish but you also get the chance to discover beautiful cities (like Barcelona, Madrid or Seville), sample the joys of Spanish cuisine first hand and experience the warmth and good nature of the Spanish people.

Language schools such as Babylon-Idiomas (http://www.babylon-idiomas.com/eng/htm/learn-spanish-spain.htm) offer learning centres in four major Spanish cities (Barcelona, Madrid, Seville and Valencia) as well as in Costa Rica and Argentina as well – all very diverse and extremely different environments in which to learn a language and all with their own cultural nuances and wonderful sights to offer; from the eco-tourism and amazing wildlife of Costa Rica, to the majestic architecture of Gaudi’s “Sagrada Familia” in Barcelona.

It is important to remember, however, that spoken Spanish is not identical in the different regions of the Spanish state. In fact, its pronunciation and lexical characteristics can vary to a very significant extent from one place to another. However, the maintenance of a unified, standard, version of the Spanish language and of its written form is guaranteed by the Real Academia de la Lengua Española. The Academia sets the rules to follow in order to speak and write in a way that is accepted by all the different Spanish speakers.

To have a tour in Gran Canaria, it is the best that you book at either Expedia or Travelocity beforehand because their client travel agencies are among the most reputable in the world. And when you make your reservation either online or by calling their customer service, make sure you do it at least two months ahead. Gran Canaria is so famous as a tourist spot that hotels and tours there are filled up a month ahead. And don’t worry about costly tours, customer service staff of either Expedia or Travelocity will give you the best discounts there are. I know, I used to be a customer service staff of Expedia.
Being in the Canary Islands, the most attractive sights there are the beaches. Gran Canaria, Spain is indeed livelier than other smaller islands in the archipelago like Lanzarote. If your group wants to break away from the arranged tour so you can get a taste of the island by yourself, then hop in an air-conditioned bus. The bus can let you interrelate with the locals who will graciously point to you all the interesting spots Gran Canaria can offer. The hang of this though is that the locals barely understand English so you’ll really have an advantage if you come from mainland Spain. There is also an impending plan to create railway tracks around Gran Canaria but why wait for that when you can visit the place now?
Gran Canaria, Spain is declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. As such, littering is strictly prohibited here. Off road vehicles are off limits to paved roads. And there are a number of other rules but they don’t make your stay here annoying, they’ll instead make your vacation here neater, right?
One of the attractions available for tourists is sightseeing in the Maspalomas dunes. It is a group of sand waves extending up to 4 kilometers long and strategically located those dunes is an oasis resort. The oasis resort is actually a former lagoon of seawater now converted into a high end tourist spot. Portions of the lagoon remain and you from your hotel room, you can actually see birds migrating from Europe drop by here en route to the African mainland.
The dunes themselves, covering a total of 400 hectares, are a spectacle. The Maspalomas dunes is one of the reasons why UNESCO declared the whole island of Gran Canaria as a UNESCO biosphere reserve. You are allowed to cross them only on foot or by camel. So if you are from Europe or the US and you haven’t seen any camel yet, this is the time of your life. While boarding your camel, you will pretty encounter lots of fauna species unique only to the Maspalomas sand dunes. Be forewarned though that you are not allowed to uproot let alone take a sample of it. You will also see lizards common only to deserts which you may have seen only on National Geographic. This is one tour you may never pass.
