Small get together

Friday night Josh (another intern at Tia Tula) organized our own intercambio activity. At 9/10 o clock we got together in his apartment with students from the Spanish and ELE courses.

ELE courses are for professors (whether native or non-native Spanish speakers) who want to improve their Spanish and their teaching skills.

Intercambios are activities involving a mutual exchange of knowledge. Normally an intercambio exists of speaking Spanish half of the time and the other half of the time the conversation will be in English.

However in this case we had the chance to practice Spanish with the ELE students all the time, in the case that they are not here to learn English. At the beginning it was a little awkward, but soon the students were mixed and trying to keep the conversation up in Spanish. This was a perfect opportunity to practice Spanish in a pleasant and natural way, in combination with homemade Sangria. We finished the night in the centre.

Real Madrid – Real Sociedad: first experience

I spent my first weekend in Madrid instead of Salamanca together with other students of Tia Tula, to watch a game of football: Real Madrid – Real Sociedad. Saturday morning we left Salamanca by bus to the stadium ´Santiago Barnabeu´. (+/- 2,5h)

We went by metro to the centre to visit some of Madrid its attractions: Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol after which we went back to the stadium to watch the game. The atmosphere in the stadium was great, filled with all enthusiastic Real Madrid supporters. The game was perfectly selected and run ends in 5-1 win for Real Madrid.

After the game we ate Tapas in the centre, where after we went to our apartment (booked on www.airbnb.com). The metro network and all public transportation are very easy to use, anyhow we covered a lot of the city by feet. Sunday afternoon we left Madrid and went by train back to Salamanca. (+/- 2,5h)

Because of the great public transportation, it is possible to spend the weekends in different cities and places. This gives you the opportunity to discover more of Spain than only Salamanca.

¡Hola!

I am Liane and last week I started at Tia Tula as an intern for the administration and marketing department. I will keep you informed, at least for six months, about Tia Tula, Salamanca, the language and different activities during these months.


Why Tia Tula?

After I finished my Master in Science: Strategy and Organization, I thought it would be a great experience for me to apply my knowledge in a small company as an intern. I have been interested in the Spanish language since I was young and this combination of working and learning Spanish was a perfect opportunity for me. After reading numerous reviews, which were all very positive, I decided to apply for this internship at Tia Tula.


Why Salamanca?

Salamanca is a small city with loads of language schools and many students as a consequence. Salamanca has many bars and restaurants, which are full of life and sociability. Due to the small size of the city, every attraction and activity is close and the whole city can be explored by feet.


First impression

My first impression is in line with the expectations I had before I came to Salamanca. Tia Tula is a mid-sized school, and because of that, they provide a very personalized attention. They offer the possibility to get to know many students (even from other levels) by offering daily activities in the evenings.
Tia Tula attracts students of many nationalities. My class consists of students from Germany, Italia, Scotland, China, Korea and the United States. Here groups are kept small (with a maximum of 10 students). There is also a great diversity in ages, this makes the school qualified for everyone. I assume that my time on Tia Tula and in Salamanca will be great and full of new experiences.
