Vlog – SparkSpanish con Loreena – 3

 

Mi clase de español me encanta. Somos pocos estudiantes y el ambiente es fantástico. ¿A ti no te gusta la enseñanza estricta y aburrida? Puedo comprenderte. Pero aquí en Spark estudiamos de otra manera. No trabajamos todo el tiempo con un libro. Vemos películas cortas para practicar la comprensión auditiva y charlamos mucho. Además hay tareas de grupo que son muy divertidas. Aprendamos mucho de la vida de nuestra profesora y de nuestros compañeros de clase. Es interesante a conocer los diferentes intenciones para estudiar el español aquí en Spark.

Vivo en una familia muy simpática, como podéis ver. Desayunamos y cenamos juntos y la comida está riquísima. Tengo un hermano español, al lado de mi madre española Carmen en mi vídeo. Ello se llama Fernando y es amable también. Al perro Donette le gustan mucho las caricias pero sobre todo le gusta la comida. Es una buena manera de conocer la cultura andaluza y de aprender el español. ¿Eres valiente y quieres pasar unas semanas en un otro país? ¡Aquí está el lugar perfecto!

Es la primera entrada de mi vlog. Hoy es mi tercer día aquí en Spark y me gusta mucho. Las clases de español son variadas y muy divertidas. Disfruto mi tiempo en El Puerto. Cada día hace mucho calor y el sol brilla todo el tiempo. ¡Los profesores y los colaboradores y los compañeros de clase son fantásticos! El work and study programme es recomendable para cualquier persona que le gusta aprender o mejorar el español y que quiere ganar experiencias de trabajo.

School groups tour to Spain video

Spark offers customized school group tours to Spain. The school group programmes include (optional) Spanish classes and cultural activities or city trips. The Spanish classes can be completely catered to needs of the students and there are many cultural activities and city trips available to choose from. This video gives information about the school group programmes and what kind of activities Spark organizes. Also it gives information about the different accomodation options for school groups. In this video I followed and filmed the students from Tudor Hall School from England who were staying with Spanish families. I have gone with them to all the activities they have done and visited two of the Spanish families to see how the students´ experiences were. Both families invited me for dinner and it was really nice to see how the students adapted to the Spanish way of life. This video was probably the most fun one to make, because I was actually involved with the school groups myself joining them during the activities and seeing them enjoy their time here in El Puerto!

This slideshow I have made gives a general impression of the experience of doing a Spanish course in Spark Spanish here in the South of Spain. It is a selection of photos of which I think show the atmosphere in Spark and the life here in El Puerto de Santa Maria best. After four months of living here, I am still really enthusiastic about this particular part of Spain. The weather, beaches, the food and the locals, everything really I like here in El Puerto. Also, the people who work in Spark Spanish are doing their very best to make things as comfortable for the students as possible. So, all I can see is come to El Puerto and discover the Spanish life yourself!

Students´ opinions´ about everything

This video is a resume of all the videos I have made before. It gives a short overview of the opinions of the students who have been staying here at Spark: with comments about the Spanish classes, the Sparkville residence, and El Puerto de Santa Maria. Also, this is the first video wherein I am giving my opinion! All by all, I hope the video will give a clear impression of the whole experience of studying Spanish here at Spark Spanish in El Puerto de Santa Maria and that it will motivate you to come and study Spanish as well!

Review of El Puerto de Santa Maria

Students´ opinions about the town in which the Sparkville Residence is located, El Puerto de Santa Maria. El Puerto is an authentic Spanish town where you really can live the Spanish life! There are not a lot of foreign tourists here, so most locals only know Spanish which makes it great for practicing your Spanish. And then you have got the amazing beaches, which rival any in Europe! One of those beaches is located within walking distance of Spark Spanish, but there are also loads of other beaches to discover if you´ll walk a bit further. The nightlife in El Puerto is also great for all ages and again the centre is just 10 mins away. All by all we’re sure you’ll feel that El Puerto is a great place to learn or improve your Spanish!

Sparkville Review: my second student video

I have been having a lot of fun making the second review video which is about the Sparkville Spanish Student residence. Whilst doing my Spark Spanish work experience program and doing the Spanish course, I have been living in Sparkville myself which is located on the floor above the classrooms. Living here has always been fun and relaxed, we feel at home! In the communal area there are always people who you could talk to or hang around with, but you can also relax in your own room and be by yourself if you want to. There are students coming from all over the world and we always love to encourage each other to speak Spanish. My favourite place is definitely the roof-terrace, perfect for sunbathing. Also, the beach is only a 10 minute walk away and the centre is closeby too! All by all, for me it couldn’t have been better than this!
