a student from Spain

[geriav]

Hi guys, I'm a student from Spain who attends an academia ingles Barcelona and already has some experience speaking English. I wanted to get some qualifications to show my ability and I'm just finishing my cursos first certificate to get one of them. English is quite difficult I think, but I seem to be coming along pretty well. Does anyone have any recommendations for places to visit and study or for holiday trips that are good for learning English? I´d like to visit America but places in Europe would be best as they are closer and easier to get to for me. England is kind of an obvious choice, but what places in England are nice? Or other places in the United Kingdom? It would be nice if I got really good and could teach English here in Spain, or even in Latin America if I really decide to travel.

Ola Geriav, welcome, I would advise you look up www.mocha.com which is a language exchange forum, where friends wishing to learn spanish will exchange with you. If you visit the UK, of course the capital, London is the obvious choice, the Spanish Embassy will have a list of areas where you will find Spanish ex patriots. My other recommendations would be Oxford or Cambridge, both university towns, where students are always willing to welcome and mix with students from other countries.

Hi geriav ke tal? I'm spanish as well living in london.the best thing you can do is avoid london or south of england. It's full of spanish people and you won't practise any english. Best way go central or north of england,
the experience here with spaniards is that at the end all get together and they are back to spain with worse english that when they came.
London is nice to visit but country side is nicer for me (maybe because london is too busy). Espero haberte dado alguna idea
