I’ve just returned from my holiday really inspired – I did a French language course in France and loved every minute! The trip to France was initially just meant to be a holiday but my travel buddy convinced me to do a language course and I’m so glad I did – we even extended our trip! It was a great way to get involved with the culture – the teachers showed us round the whole of the town and I don’t think we would have seen half as much should we just have been holidaying alone. I am studying in Barcelona at the moment and I noticed similarities to the Catalan spoken there and French. I’m looking to learn Castilian Spanish too (I love Spanish life and would like to stay here, though not necessarily just in Barcelona, for a while yet) and so after my great holiday language learning experience in France, now I have found vuelos Barcelona Tenerife for cheap, I think I’ll try out a Spanish language course there – after all, my curso de francés was most definitely a success! Any related input would be of great help; I do worry perhaps the Canary Island accent may make learning Spanish difficult – would I be better just having the beach holiday there and going to a city such as Madrid to study Spanish? I hear the accent is clearer and being a beginner (and learning two other languages!), I don’t want to challenge myself too much!
