Studied abroad in Sevilla last year (my first time outside of the USA) and loved it so much that I haven't stopped thinking about my life in Spain that I had to leave behind. Currently planning on doing the NALCAP program to take me back for a couple years and then switch to another teaching program! I LOVE that you included the time of day in your videos when everything was taking place. Not too many people do that in their auxiliares vlogs and it makes it difficult to truly see just how the day is organized. Beautiful camera work!!

@ellenkhay

Hey Eve, congratulations on your placement! ☺️ carpooling is very common and schools usually arrange it for you (in my case, it was like that) they know very well that getting around is hard. Ask them about where it’s best to live, if there’s any transport link or if you can carpool with any teacher. Gallegos are very nice are always happy to help. Good luck!

hi Shev! Thank you ❤️ I studied Spanish (well, still learning). I took Spanish in university but later had to study Mandarin so I forgot. When I moved here, I decided to hire a Spanish teacher (1.5hrs/week) and then enrolled in an academy summer 2019. Living in Spain really helps and having Spanish friends. When interacting with people I always try my best to use Spanish. When watching series (even anime) subtitles are all in Spanish. Everything has to be in Spanish.
