Here we are .... this day seemed very far away and unfortunately has already come (Oh, when I was in high school seemed like the Liberation Day, a national holiday)
It seems to me that yesterday I landed in the charming town of Girona (one of the saddest airports visited, but efficient) but has been nearly 2 months!
summarize the salient facts:
SPANISH LEVEL REACHED (this was the purpose of my coming here): B1
not soooo not what I mean to save yourself and then ask! have written to the degree that I have delivered.
I know for sure that the starting level was 0 then declare myself extremely pleased with the result!
It seems incredible, but now I can hold a conversation without interrupting the other person every nanosecond x ask for repetition and I even passed the stage where you pretend to understand and nods and laughs when others laughing but actually we think of the expense to be done, the nail that has just broken, to a beach view short one gets one's own business because you do not understand
iota of what is going around saying this but it seems bad . Of course I will not
conferences in English in the near future (even in Italian if this is x), but I arranged.
great satisfaction.
SAINTS KNOWN:
sull'accidentato path of the English language, I met three people who are sanctified, meet in chronological order of appearance in court:
DAVID
Professor of grammar. Always enthusiastic and smiling, not overcome almost anything, even The worst question that shows that his last 8 months of lessons (there are people who do old taking English lessons here) have been in vain because the one who asks the question, obviously, has not learned anything. Sometimes you see suffering (for the stupid questions are asked), but it's like one of those trees that sometimes bends but never breaks and there is just a small glimmer of sun rise again. In
realta'la piu'importante e'che e'davvero what a good teacher, able to understand even the most 'blockhead blockheads of the foundations of this wonderful language and make him love as well as reflected the fact that he loves her a lot.
The first face you see every morning in school, always in a good mood, and when it is not hiding it well. Ago with an average of the secretaries of the school, always very bad mood and if x is in a good mood when you look good and to reveal as much bad feeling. Seems to me in the office, I already said everything.
David is just a little sickly and runs a pharmacy in your backpack, but this is quite common in humans hypochondriac men (all men).
His drawings on the blackboard are epic, a new Picasso.
It 's also a nice cool that never hurts.
Patience personified, it should be made a saint. Thanks David!
ALEJANDRO
Professor of conversation for my first two weeks of staying in school. Capita you what kind of conversation may be after 2 days of classes for example. Punishment. You have to commit even x yes or no answer to the most idiotic questions.
The poor man launches into a surprisingly varied amount of topics to see if any argument was attractive to us and gave us the strength to get out there and overcome the obvious shame groped in a conversation in an unknown language.
Because this is the big problem, we are ashamed, you feel out of their comfort zone, the old, dear, simple English with us for ever and now is a refuge. Character
curious to Alejandro, very interesting, like the others he has never raised a wall for taking if his opinions or avoidant to tell something of his life. I do not think that much easier for the prof to do this, much easier to isolate oneself in the world and avoid sharing.
A major flaw, is a fan of Real Madrid's Ettore Messina (we're talking basketball people). Nobody is perfect.
forgotten, a tremendous calligraphy. He, too, a nice guy!
also propose to him sanctification, Alejandro hello!
CINTA
The name says it all, Cinta means belt. Strange name, strange girl!
Cinta is a very pleasant person! I got a little mistake when I came because I was fond of sant'Alejandro but after 2 days of its lessons I realize that I'm a saint and gained a saint.
First, the first week can Cinta there were 2 girls who chatted amiably all the time in English, not we are here to learn English, no? One of two of the other spent all his time to writing text messages and respond to incoming sms. Mica are in school, right?
have not heard a word of what he said Cinta, and sometimes even answered. If by chance
responded to questions were always strictly in English.
I'd thrown out the window, but we are all equal and Buddhist meditation and the world is beautiful and compassion etc etc ....
then I changed my mind because I realized that not would have done anything falling from the top.
Cinta was imperturbable. In fact, you could just practicing compassion is not in the sense that the people felt sorry for him, in the sense that her students are, however, and then even though they are certainly not the best they can at least she is trying on his part.
In his previous life must have been a very religious person, no matter what I think.
add here a question, not at all rhetorical macosaciveniteafareaduncorsodilinguechelodoveteanchepagareenonèlascuoladell'obbligosenonveneimportaniente? Then it must be said that
Cinta live his own world that enchanted me, I really enjoyed listening to his life experiences, it is an interesting person!
Next sanctification and beatification for her. Surrounded by holy patience.
Classmates
A lot. In two months I do not know how many people passed through these halls.
a lot do not even remember the names, others prefer to forget, mark the ones that I liked are:
KARYANN PIERRE AND LUC
both Canadians, we spent many weeks together, interesting people and fun, we shared the frustration and
'impotence of the first week.
EDOARDO:
Italian, Milanese, and for this already tried and convicted. Mistakenly, Edo is a very interesting and fun!
be said to be truthful living and working in London, will be the moisture English then?
very young boy but with a lot of life experiences, a woman head on her shoulders and a lot of thoughts and ideas inside that head.
rare commodity in short. And then brings flowers to his girlfriend and croissants in the morning, he put on the list of saints??
ANASTASIA:
Russian girl who lives in Italy, the only Russian who speaks English with an Italian accent!
RACHEL:
American girl who lives and works here, very interesting person as interesting are his life experiences, from always working
ngo, has lived all over the world, always working to help others. There is much to learn from the people ......
OTHERS I'll remember 'always with pleasure:
Pedro, Herminia, Rocio, Manuel, Thanks for Everything!
MORE PLACES 'LOVED TO BARCELONA:
Santa Maria del Mar. I am not a religious person, but in this church there is a magic and a unique harmony.
Raval: the whole neighborhood, a bit messy, inhabited largely by immigrants, a beautiful mezcla. Here we see all kinds barbers who cut hair x 3 €.
Rivera streets, bars, piazzettina tiny, looking very happy.
Gracia: small squares, ordinary people and different people, it seems another city, Barcelona.
promenade on sunny days, past the first song is full of tourists, people .... bowling, cards, other games that even I understood what they were ...
elderly chatting, young people who do sport on the tools available free of charge etc etc ... beautiful, alive.
Mercat de Sant Antoni. On Sunday morning, the traditional market is closed around there is plenty of stalls selling used books. Beautiful!
low costs, books 2, 3 €, including € 1. There goes the morning and you strarebbe all day!
Palau de la Musica Catalana: you can not explain, you see it!
Petrixiol Calle del Pi and square: delicious
House: Home is home. Thanks Guille .....
and a million other things but I have gia'annoiati enough!
EXPENDITURE:
is that I always forgot my camera to document the evidence but I have the tickets, but a few examples but I could go on for hours, did not know if there are any good samaritans that we are all thieves or dishonest:
zucchini = 59 cents 1 kg, 2 kg = € 1.
artichokes 2 kg = € 1. No I have not misspelled. I know. It seems incredible. In Italy sometimes carcofo 1 2 €. 4 croissants
type Algida but Carrefour brand: 89 cents. More good croissants Algida, ca va sans dire. 8
yogurt = 1 €
Bread: here you can see all I got to pay three loaves of bread less than 1 €.
await the moment when they say that they pay us to go shopping. Do not miss a lot.
ah, a nice thing, because now the government here is passionate about the topic riparmio energy, to enable people to use cars less ... has reduced the prices of railway tickets. Utopia, in Italy.
Sorry to see that in Italy nothing as good as this is done and even more sorry that around the world laugh all of Italy.
I do not have to laugh looking at our country and those who live, unfortunately, I feel like crying.
Let's see if there from April 6 to get some .....
RESTAURANTS, BARS ETC ETC:
restaurants is better if you ask them to someone else, here is all meat and I can not hold on to potato and tortilla patatas bravas, however, fried artichokes
everywhere and they are delicious to eat 10 kg a time.
worth trying pinchos, fun and delicious everywhere I tried them.
For a quiet afternoon and a good chai tea or any other Illegal Teteria remember (thanks Lucy for letting me know!)
for those who want to get into heaven for five minutes and then fall into hell when the term suggests a local nectar called La calle Pallaresa in Petrixiol,
Italian jocks not be fooled by the room not just in design (I actually like this place a little crazy Italian 70), never in my life have I tasted a chocolate cup whipped cream with real chocolate that is placed on with the spatula so good. The cream inside is a lot of tubs as big as buckets. Paradise. All
and tell everyone who gets the falafel and hummus are good, a delight. How I miss this food!
like Santa is going megacamminata the mountains for a week ???????? Hold on! I told you to take the trolleys that were doing less work!
Thursday raparte you, the next adventure! Hello everyone!
ah I forgot, I come out now from the cinema here in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwent to see soo welcome in the South ... that laugh !!!!!!
