Daily of Swedish students in Spain (English)

We are two students and we study social sciences and lenguage orientation and we are in our last year of the higher secundary education course at Härnösands gymnasium in Sweden. Last year we followed the Spanish lessons of the first grade and during this year we are going to learn the spanish of the second and the third grade. In Spring 2006, our Spanish teacher contacted by e-mail a language school, Mester Spanish Courses . They informed us about their activities and we got very interested. In autumn 2006, we went to Spain with 12 students of varies ages and with different knowledge of Spanish, with our teacher Sven-Erik Gerdin, for one week to participate courses of Mester in Salamanca.

Before we went to Spain, we had to do a diagnostic test to decide on which level we were and according to the results of the test we were devided in different groups of ten students from varies parts of the world. The lessons were very interesting and usefull and we learned a lot. In Salamanca, we leaved in groups of two with Spanish families and thanks to this, we also learned a lot about the Spanish culture and we could talk a lot to practice our Spanish. Mester also organized activities in the afternoon like, guide tours, dancing clases and cooking clases. Furthermore we had the oportunity to go to Madrid to watch a soccergame of Real Madrid against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League.



We strongly recommend to students just like us, to study Spanish at Mester Academy in Salamanca. Our stay in Salamanca was really great and something we will never forget.

We strongly recommend to other students just like us, to study Spanish at Mester academy. We really enjoyed our stay in Salamanca and it was something we will never forget.

There are even a few students planning to go back to Salamanca to study Spanish at Mester, as soon as they have finished their higher secundary education.
