On Saturday we went with a group of Spark students on a daytrip to the wonderful city Cádiz. Spark organizes cultural events for students to experience the Spanish lifestyle here in the Cádiz region, which give Spark students a total package of learning Spanish. Since Cádiz is not only the capital of the province Cádiz but also the oldest city of Europe, it is a must-to-see during your stay in El Puerto de Santa Maria. We took the boat at 12.50 pm across the Bay of Cádiz and because of the sunny weather we enjoyed a nice boattrip and a beautiful view. Read More

¡Hola! Ich bin jetzt schon seit zwei Wochen hier und meine Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen wachsen stetig. Dadurch das ich bei einer Gastfamilie wohne, habe ich ständig die Möglichkeit mein Spanish auszutesten, aber auch El Puerto bietet mir viele Restaurants und Bars, wo ich mit Einheimischen reden und üben kann. Ein Zusatzpunkt den ich durch meine Gastfamilie erlangt habe, ist das sie mir die schönsten Orte in El Puerto zeigen und mir mittags oft ein typisch Spanisches Gericht auf den Tisch stellen. So lerne ich auch viel über die Spanische Kultur und sehe in meiner kurzen Zeit hier, die besten Ecken von El Puerto.
Auch in meinem Spanisch Kurs in Spark, werden meine Sprachkenntnisse immer mehr erweitert durch verschiedene Aufgaben die sich variieren, von Konversationen führen und Texte schreiben bis Lückentexte ausfüllen. Auch die Themen sind nicht immer nur Grammatik, Grammatik, Grammatik, beispielsweise letzten Mittwoch, der 12. Oktober, war der Spanische Nationalfeiertag ‘El Día de la Hispanidad’, an diesem Tag haben wir uns viel mit der Geschichte von Spanien und El Puerto befasst und der Schwerpunkt lag auf Hörverstehns Aufgaben und Konversationen führen. Dabei haben wir auch viel mit einem Fernseher gearbeitet, der mit dem Internet verbunden ist. So unterscheidet sich der Unterricht sehr von dem gewohnten Schulalltag zuhause und ist auch viel spannender zu verfolgen. Am Ende jeder Woche wird ein kleiner Test geschrieben über alles was in den letzen fünf Tagen durchgenommen wurde, dieser dient aber nur zur selbstüberprüfung und manchmal als Hilfe für den Lehrer, um zu sehen was vielleicht noch nicht richtig verstanden wurde. Ich bin sehr gespannt was meine letzte Woche in Spark noch bringen wird, aber aufregend wird es ganz bestimmt!
