ERASMUS

Being an “Erasmus” or international student has allowed me to meet a lot of people from a lot of different countries. I’ve made friends with a bunch of Spaniards, but I have also gotten very close to people from Brazil, Italy, Mexico, China and Portugal, and of course, the United States. One of the things I love about spending time with such a diverse group is that the only language we have in common is Spanish. I love hearing the Spanish accent that comes with each person’s nationality. The Italians speak Spanish differently from the Chinese and the Brazilians and Portuguese speak differently from the Americans. We are all different, yet we all share the same love of learning new languages.
This past weekend I spent most of my time with the whole group of Erasmus students, and there’s nothing better than spending time with this crazy group of people. There are about thirty of us, and it’s always fun to try and squeeze all of us into one piso (apartment) for a party. This post is mainly just to show everyone the group that is now my family.
