I loved the video! I have studied, worked and lived in Salamanca for over 6 years, and now I am teaching Spanish in the US and I miss it so much! It made my day watching all those beautiful streets again
thank you for your comment Daniel! I'm so glad my video could take you back to such a special place :) That's so awesome that you got to live in Salamanca for so long! And yes, I've taken the bus from Salamanca to Madrid but would absolutely love to go to the cities around there I haven't visited yet!
You prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Leonardo Caden I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great video Kaye. This helped not only orient my daughter and my self on her experience, but also helped a nervous grandparent be more at ease. Well done!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Hi Kaye, how lovely the video is!May I ask which school do you reconmend for doing a summer course in Salamanca for learning Spanish? I love this place so much. Thanks.
Thank you! I attended the University of Salamanca (Universidad de Salamanca) through a study abroad program provider called, International Studies Abroad, so I can only recommend that. If you research ISA or even other study abroad providers, you can find summer/semester courses for learning Spanish. Here's a link to ISA - www.studiesabroad.com/destinations/europe/spain/salamanca/spanish-language--culture
Thanks, this video is really helpful! I’m planning on studying Spanish for a month in Salamanca this summer but have lots of questions. - Is the Spanish language and culture course taught entirely in Spanish or in both English and Spanish? - is there a disadvantage of booking the course straight from the uni rather than from a study abroad program provider e.g. less excursions, knowing less people when you get there, less access to resources, different housing etc ? - does the uni itself plan any cultural activities or excursions? Thanks!!
Hi there! That's awesome, I hope you have the best time :) - the Spanish language and culture program I took was taught entirely in spanish, it may be different depending on your school and what they offer - i don't know what it's like to book through the university because i did it through my study abroad program, i'd suggest you ask the advisors of the uni. - i believe usal does plan a lot of cultural activities and excursions, try referring to their website!
Thank you for a very informative video. I was thinking about studying at the University of Complutense and now lean towards the Salmanca University. I wonder if you would share thoughts on alojamiento: the university dorm, host family, shared room or one's own apartment/studio? Thank you.
I chose to stay with a host family and my experience was amazing! my host mom and sister were very kind. i spoke with them entirely in spanish and that was one of the most helpful things for my language immersion. the homestay included three meals a day, my own room and laundry. your experience may differ.
Hi! I’m considering Universidad de Salamanca for my study abroad destination! I want to bring my dog with me, would you recommend it? Is it a pet friendly city?
The city is quite walkable so I'd guess from that end, it would be a pet friendly place! Im not sure about whether many establishments allow pets indoors
Hi Kaye, I am going to study at USAL in June 2021. May I ask what month did you study in Salamanca? I am asking because I am planning to see what clothes I would need to go with the weather. Thanks and great VLOG, btw.
Hi there! That's so exciting you'll be at USAL! I hope you have the best time! My program lasted from the last week of May until the first week of July. It gets very hot from middle of June and on, but in the end of May and early June it rained a lot while I was there and it was pretty cold. I would suggest covering your bases from spring weather clothing to peak of summer clothing :)
Please forgive my curiosity, are you Filipina by ethnicity? Spain and the Philippines had very close relationship. Years ago, many Filipinos spoke Spanish very well. I heard there is a barrio in Madrid where many Filipinos live together. (Yo, fue el año 1999, me he quedado en Salamanca por estudiar el castellano... pues, poco tiempo solamente, nueves meses.)
i'm thinking of doing my undergraduate studies in USL. i understand that i should have at least some understanding of spanish before trying to apply, but are the bachelor degrees taught in english or spanish? :0
Definitely look on the USAL website to see if any courses are taught in english. Since its a Spanish university, the primary language the courses are taught in is Spanish. For reference, all my courses were taught in Spanish
May I know the right website for the school which provides Spanish language course?I am a beginner.Actually there are different websites called themselves Salamanca University. Thanks.
www.studiesabroad.com/destinations/europe/spain/salamanca/spanish-language--culture (this is to ISA, i did not go to the university directly, i went through the study abroad program provider)
if you're an american around other americans then everyone usually defaulted to english. we usually spoke spanish to local spanish students at language exchange events. yes we had homework everyday
Me gusta más Salamanca porque la universidad es buena y se puede caminar por toda la ciudad y es muy bonita. Pero depende de que quieres estudiar y se puede decidir :)
The classes usually consisted of a lecture done by the professor and tests were given weekly. We also did some group work, no presentations. However, this format may differ depending on what courses you take and whether you have full semesters. My specific program was only 5 weeks long in the summer, so that affected how compact the courses and curriculums were. Hope this helps!
