Spanish

I had a nice meeting with a friend just returned from a 6 week intensive course of Spanish in Malaga and listened to his experience there. He thought it was excellent and hopes to go back next year for another 6 weeks. We know Malaga, been there three times, and like the city very much. He lived with a Spanish family during this time and thought that was very helpful in speaking Spanish outside of the school atmosphere. The school works in conjunction with Spanish families so that students who want to can also live in a Spanish surrounding all the time instead of dormitories. That way you are learning Spanish in school and get to use it in a home atmosphere. The families are aware at what level of Spanish you are and so talk to you at that level. That sounds like a good idea.

Next Saturday we are invited to a graduation of another acquaintance of ours that I met originally on the Conversation Exchange.  Since that time, Joan and I have had dinner with her twice and today she invited us to the event. It's being held in the Palace Dzia艂y艅ski in the rynek so we know where it is.

Mia艂em mi艂e spotkanie z przyjacielem W艂a艣nie wr贸ci艂em z 6 tygodni intensywnego kursu j臋zyka hiszpa艅skiego w Maladze i s艂ucha艂em tam jego do艣wiadczenia. My艣la艂, 偶e to doskona艂e i ma nadziej臋, 偶e wr贸cimy w przysz艂ym roku na kolejne 6 tygodni. Wiemy, Malaga, by艂 tam trzy razy, i jak miasto bardzo. W tym czasie mieszka艂 z hiszpa艅sk膮 rodzin膮 i my艣l臋, 偶e by艂a bardzo pomocna w mowie hiszpa艅skiego poza atmosfer膮 w szkole. Prace szkolne w po艂膮czeniu z hiszpa艅skich rodzin, tak, 偶e studenci, kt贸rzy chc膮 mog膮 偶y膰 w otaczaj膮cym hiszpa艅skim ca艂y czas zamiast akademik贸w. W ten spos贸b ucz膮 si臋 hiszpa艅skiego w szkole i si臋 go u偶ywa膰 w domu atmosfery. Rodziny s膮 艣wiadomi, na jakim poziomie jeste艣 i hiszpa艅skim tak z tob膮 rozmawia膰 na tym poziomie. To brzmi jak dobry pomys艂.

W najbli偶sz膮 sobot臋 jeste艣my zaproszeni do uko艅czenia innego znajomo艣ci naszego, 偶e spotka艂em si臋 pierwotnie na Conversation Exchange. Od tego czasu, Joan i ja mieli艣my kolacj臋 z ni膮 dwa razy i dzisiaj ona zaprosi艂a nas do tego wydarzenia. Jest przetrzymywany w Pa艂acu Dzia艂y艅skiego w Rynku, wi臋c wiemy, gdzie jest.
