hay all. As some of you may already know I'm doing a language degree in german, french, spanish and Catalan. As such next year I'll be going to spain to teach english. Do any of you have any experience with spain or possibly live there yourselves to give me an idea of what accessibility is like, ways to obtain accommodation, general things I might find useful? I know that the ONCE is very good but they have not responded to my emails, reflecting the general disorganised nature of the spanish as far as I'm concerned haha. So if anyone can give me any incite here I'd be most apreciative. I do not want to get stranded next year lol.

Ps if anyone wishes help in or practice communicating in any of the languages I've mentioned above let me know. I need the practice. Ich brauche die übung! Il me faut la pratique! Necesito la practica!

I have been to Spain when I was younger. But I didn't know any Spanish then. I know a bit now. Me llamo Michelle. Hablo Unpoco Espanol. My righting Spanish isn't very good. I wish I could makeit better. I did Spanish at college and I did French at school but cant remember any of it. Adios y gracias

hi,
yeah the ONCE varies from region to region. Check out this mailing list, they might be able to help you.
