Instituto Hemingway reviews in Spain

Living with a Spanish family in their apartment is a great way to enjoy the Spanish lifestyle.

As I arrived the weather turned cold with the locals putting on thick winter coats, but it seemed warm to me as it was 24º. Otherwise it has been cloudless, windless and in the high 20´s but very pleasant. You do not feel hot at all in that temperature and it is good for the skin I reckon.

I am at the school for 4 hours of class per day running from 930am to 130pm. I am in the upper part of a beginners class. My listening and speaking skills are getting a good workout. Bilbao is a great city to learn Spanish. My class has 8 people in it Canada, Usa, Scotland, Sweden, Germany, Hong Kong we do not speak english at all everything is in spanish. That class is for 4 hours then I go to an extra activity class for two hours to improve conversation, speaking and comprehension skills with a swede two swiss and a german that class is always a good test. I checked Instituto Hemingway reviews before and apart from some crazy young girls all vere excellent.

Living life in a city as a completely city dweller is very different for someone from the wide open living spaces of New Zealand. People do live outside together. There are squares for the kids to play with parents and grandparents looking on young people and familes and older ones all out walking around particulalrly from 5 to 9 each night. Yes they do have a siesta and I am making sure that I enjoy it when I can.

Flor and Andres are my hosts they are in their 50´s. This week there have been 4 french schoolboys staying too who want to improve their English..

Flor and Andres host 3or 4 every week for about half the year. Flor just loves the company of younger people and looking after them.
Flor is lovely. She is a diabetic too and knows about all it. We tested our blood sugar levels and compared them.

After breakfast Flor and Andres walked with me to the Language school to make sure I found the way, shakes my hand and wishes me luck. After a language level test at the school; we had a walking tour of Bilbao before classes started. It is a wonderful and beautiful city . I could hardly sleep that first night as my mind was just swimming with spanish words. I slept until 2 and could not get back to sleep so I started a diary which I wrote using the little Spanish I knew as it is the best way to get it out of my head. I did that until 4am.

That weekend after my arrival I joined the class excursion to the wineries of Rioja and after some glasses of wine I started to speak Spanish fluently .
