Hi anna
Thank you very much for your sound advice for learning spanish in Mexico last year and I have spend a very good time in Cuenavaca. I have the itch to go again this year. Do you have any information of learning spanish in Oxaca ?

Hi Eliza, I am very glad indeed to know that you have had a wonderful time in Cuenavaca. Which language school did you go to? Will you write about your experience there? I will be your first reader, for sure.
Sorry that I do not have any info on learning spanish in Oxaca.

Love to share my experience with you.
I went there in Jan 07. Cuenavaca is a very nice city with fine weather. It’s 1.5 hr from Mexico city. Remember there was a video in your site with people dancing in a square ? I have been there and really saw people dancing there in Saturday evening.
I‘ve enrolled a 3 week’s course with a few private sessions in a school called Encuentros. Before enrolment, I requested 3 hours instead of 5 hours daily because I think 5 hours is very tiring and I want to have more time to explore the city leisurely in the afternoon. The fee was US$433. I think you can negotiate the fee and lectures hours with them before enrolment. Actually they have waived my enrollment fee. I stayed in a host family (US$400) with full board but I seldom went back to lunch which was at 3pm (not used to eating so late). I preferred to eat at local restaurants.
Though I request a double room because it is cheaper but I was given a single room(without additional charge) because the host family got enough rooms to accomodate all students. (There were 3 including me in the 1st week, 2 in the second and only me in the 3rd).
The learning environment in school was relaxed, teachers and staff were conscientious and helpful. There were about 2-4 students in each class. There were only 2 in my class. One of the thing I like is that most of the students were mature but energetic. I do not like to mix with teenages because I am of a certain age myself.
I visited Teotihuacan, Taxco and Puebla during weekends. I spent a few days in Mexico City ( I stayed in Hotel Cathedral which is clean and comfortable and at good location) before returning to Hong Kong.
I didn’t find it dangerous travelling alone in Mexico. After I returned to HK, I enrolled a course in HKU space and I found that my spanish has really improved a lot with my study in Mexico. I think learning spanish in a spanish speaking country for 3 weeks is better than learning it in HK for 3 years.
The only thing to concern is that the travelling time to Latin American is really very long !

Thanks so much Eliza for the detailed info. I surely agree with you that what you learn in a spanish speaking country for 3 weeks is more than what you learn in HK for 3 years.
Also, if you choose host family accommodation, do not choose full board. That is the advice I gave people and Eliza’s experience has testified again.
Thanks again, Eliza for your time and your kindness to share.
I will also put Eliza’s comment under my post about learning spanish in mexico.

我又來了!無意間發現你的網誌，原本一開始只是想尋找西語學習的目的，在你其他的文字中反而變淡了。細讀你的各式各樣篇章，都能從其中感受到彷彿是自己的體驗。像你在蘇格蘭遇見那個男人的記事，我看完之後有說不出的感傷，我也常常自己旅行，在途中有時感到其實旅行沒有想像的浪漫，有時更是需要忍受很大的寂寞。即使如此，還是想要收拾行李到一個完全陌生的地方生活。希望接下來的西語學習之旅趕快成行，在青春的結尾…
還是要再說，能發現你的網誌真好，請繼續加油

Hello Anna, hope you still remember me! I am now in Buenos Aires!!
I just have a 4-hour private lesson today. I only have time to study for a few days, so I go for private lesson.
As you said, the problem of learning Spanish in Argentina is their pronunciations. Their pronunciation of Y and LL are so different. And they use Vos instead of Tu to represent informal you… sigh… But luckily, my school and teacher are really good. My teacher is very serious and i found i´ve learnt a lot in a mere 4 hours.
But still, I think for tourists who wanna grab some basic vocab, its still a must to at least learn some spanish before starting their adventures in South Am. I found that most salespeople and restaurant waiters speak no english at all.. and no english in menu too.. so sometimes I ordered my food without knowing whats that exactly..hehe.
After this 4-hour lesson, I found that I really wanna learn more spanish.. so I am now thinking to change my original travel plan, squeezing maybe 2-3 weeks in Santiago de Chile for more spanish classes.
PS the spanish private classes here cost around USD 15-25 per hour. The one I got costs USD20 per hour. But it is a solid hour, i.e. the lesson really lasts for 60 minutes, instead of 45 minutes in many other schools.

hi chocosea, it is really great to know that you are in ARGENTINA NOW. of course i remember you! sometimes it is not bad that you can read spanish only in a foreign country so that you are forced to learn the language. :)
and thanks so much for sharing your experience. i love to hear more of your stories and experience here!
when u are in buenos aires, do go to the “siga la vaca” restaurant i recommended in my blog. it is a great bbq restaurant.

Hello anna, I have changed my tickets so now I will return to Buenos Aires in mid March and stay there for 1.5 months! :)
In fact I was struggling if I should return to Buenos Aires to learn Spanish, or simply go to Santiago or other cities. The main concern I got was the pronunciation and special use/slangs in Argentina spanish.. But finally I still choose to return BsAs because I really love the city. I think it is importnt to find a city that we really enjoy, although it may not be the first best in learning spanish. :P
Siga la Vaca! I really love steak in Argentina. Hehe, I think the first two words to learn about Argentina are not Gracias and Hola, but Bife y Vino!!
I am starting up a blog, hope I can write some more and then share it with you later. :)
P.S. Thanks a lot for the info and sharings in your website. I hope I can also tidy up my thoughts and create some great website as yours.. hehe.

Hi Chocosea, I support fully your decision to return to argentina. Argentina is my favorite country. I spent nearly two months there. Consider renting an apartment and living like an “argentino”. That is the best way to enjoy the country.

Hi again Anna, I got something about accomodation looking for your advice..
I have confirmed my class in Buenos Aires for 1.5 months. As I want to learn more in a limited time, I decide to go for private lesson. Now I have to think about the accomodation options.
I do not take homestay into account as my spanish level is still too weak to make any meaningful conversation in depth.. (also i dont want to be with the same group of people for too long) but I am a bit indecisive between renting apartment and staying in hostel. I think renting apartment is a best way to live indepedently, however, given i have private lessons and i get no friend in this city, I am a bit afraid i cannot make any communication with others if i got my private apartment. I stayed in a hostel before which is quite cozy and homefeel, i am thinking if i should go for hostel instead of apartment.. but staying in a private room in hostel actually costs as much as renting my own apartment.. seems it is not of good value of money..
what was your experience of staying in apartment in a completely brand new city? I find it is difficult to balance between freedom and degree of communication when choosing accomodation.. :(

anna
chocosea,
hostel has one major disadvanage: you end up speaking english with those staying there. i think you should seriously consider homestay. that is really the way to maximize your exposure to spanish. u don’t need to command good spanish to have deep conversation. as long as you can try to use a bit of spanish you have learnt, it serves the purpose already. and in fact, through homestay, you learn more.
if u don’t want to stay in one home for 1.5 months, ask the school to arrange two homes.
renting an apartment is really good. i absolutely enjoy it. but then it will depend on what priority you have. enjoy life or learn spanish? if it is for enjoying life, no doubt apartment rental.
hope it helps.
have a wonderful time in buenos aires!

Anna 您好，
看了您的文章，知道您有些關於中南美洲學習西班牙文的資訊，但不知有智利及阿根廷的大學 或是語言學校的資訊嗎？
我預計在今年四月或五月去智利唸書，但手邊資訊很少，在學校專科主修西班牙文，但畢業之後很少用到，所以退步許多，計畫到智利先念語言學校之後再轉當地大學念正式課程，不知您有沒有語言學校可推薦？或是大學裡的語言課程可推薦？
期待您的回覆，謝謝。

噢…chocosea是香港人嗎? 我也正在阿根廷BsAs讀西班牙語, 不過我會留到8月才走.
1.5月其實好短, 好難找到apartment的, 一般來這裡的人都會住上3個月,即是一個semester.
anna, 之前問你有關donquijote的讀書狀況, 你有沒有朋友到過那裡讀書呢? 我看他們網站好像很professional, 但是真的很貴. 有你有沒有其他推薦呢?
我想9月去granada take一些courses, 然後考試, e.g. DELE, BUSINESS SPANISH 或者 TOURISM SPANISH.

找公寓住，想住幾日/幾月都可以。沒問題的。可看我介紹阿根廷住公寓的文章，有連結。
有關donquijote, 我在你上次的提問下作了回覆。請參看．
我在GRANADA只去過Castilla,所以只敢推薦這所學校。但碰過其他人，對他們的學校很滿意，不過名稱忘記了．
Chocosea 是香港人，如果你想聯絡她，我可做個中間人。

i chose the cheaper option - to stay in the school’s shared apartment. you share it with two to three students an apartment and that should be among the cheapest accommodation options.
it is not cheap to rent an apartment by yourself, but you may be able to find a room mate to share an apartment. but that usually means that the lease time is longer. near the university, i noted that there were quite a few ads put up asking for room mates to share an apartment. most of them were university students.
another way is for you to seek help directly from castila. to see if it can help you to find an even cheaper accommodation option.

Hello Anna!
我現在仍然在 Buenos Aires﹐不過後天就要走了。本來我打算待到五月尾﹐但因為我要回趕回家辦學生簽證﹐趕及七月到美國開學﹐所以不得不走了。
明天就是我最後一堂spanish課了。上了近四星期的課﹐我現在學到 imperfecto de indicativo﹐我覺得很難啊﹐我經常會把幾個時態的conjugation攪亂了。我想這個也算是我在學習spanish上的一個樽頸位吧。可惜我要走了﹐沒有機會突破這個樽頸位。
不過以學習語言的進度來說﹐我覺得很滿意。現在我到洗衣店﹐搭的士﹐買東西﹐到航空公司改機票﹐都可以用spanish表達和溝通。我甚至會打電話叫外賣﹐亦試過寫email到智利的酒廠﹐告訴他們我多喜歡他們的白酒﹐問他們在英國有沒有銷售點… 我想﹐在這裡學習一個月﹐比在香港學習一年甚至兩年更有成效。所以﹐我覺得有興趣學西班牙語的人﹐其實不必在香港讀那些每星期只有3小時的興趣班。除了因為語言需要環境去練習外﹐每天密集式的上課亦令學習更有效率﹐老師不用花太多時間去重溫上堂學過的東西。
不過﹐更重要的是﹐我對這四個星期在 Buenos aires 的生活﹐感到非常非常的滿足。我一點也不後悔放棄遊覽秘魯和巴西的機會﹐因為布宜諾斯艾利斯的確是一個很特別的地方﹐有很多地方很像歐洲﹐但又有南美人獨特的個性。而且這裡的人﹐比西班牙很多大城市的人好得太多了。他們熱情友善﹐而且都很快樂。而且﹐在這裡上課的價錢和生活費都比西班牙便宜﹐用同樣的價錢﹐我想我只能在西班牙的小鎮跟一班人上group class﹐但在這裡﹐我可以每天上4小時的私人課。
在學習西班牙語前﹐我在阿根廷和智利旅遊﹐渡過了非常非常難忘的一個多月–那是我人生中最最最快樂的一個月!! 城市﹐冰川﹐火山﹐瀑布﹐動物﹐牛扒﹐美酒… 每天都讓我興奮無比﹐每天我都過得很快樂! 這種感覺﹐是我從前在其他亞洲和歐洲地方旅遊時不曾感受過的。
連同學習西班牙的這一個月(不是不快樂﹐但我感到有點寂寞…)﹐我總共在南美逗留了兩個多月。這兩個多月是我一生人最有意義的日子。雖然有時候﹐在這個陌生的國度﹐沒有家人和好朋友的陪同﹐我會感到非常的寂寞﹐但能夠學習spanish這一種曼妙優美的語言﹐跟這裡快樂的人們溝通了解﹐實在是一個非常獨特的經驗。
我相信﹐到我70歲時﹐我仍然會為我這個旅程回味無窮!

Chocosea, 親愛的朋友，感謝你在離開Buenos aires的前夕，給我寫了這封信。相信我，我的心很暖。
你所訴説的我都明白，能夠用另一種語言去生活，那種經歷，很奇妙。我真的很開心知道你的這段旅程，是這樣富足，滿足和快樂。
其實旅程的寂寞是必然的，你有否留意，其實寂寞也是可以享受的？
聽説你又要去美國展開新的生活，真的替你高興，人生就本應創造種種的經歷，享受種種的經歷。記得常來探望呀！
祝福你！

Thank you for your information on learning spanish in Mexico
Do you think it is better to enrol on line before departure or enrol on spot ?
By your experience, one to one tuition & small group,which is better ?
Travelling from Hong Kong to Mexico city, which is the most convenient place to transfer ?

Hi Anna
I decided to take a course in cuernavaca at the end of Jan next year
I will be going alone. It seems there is not much time for preparation. I have to revise the spanish, look up for more information of Mexico and apply for visa,etc…. I’m rather excited
From 留言冊, 2006/12/23 at 4:32 PM

anna
eliza,
my advice is that you should enrol in a school for 1 or 2 weeks before departure. the reason is that you can have the school arrange accommodation for you, and also pick you up from the bus station or train station. that will make your life easier. if the school is not good enough, make use of the 1-2 week to find another school in the city. Once you are in the city, you can check out as many schools in person as you like and you will not have problem to find a good one.
In the beginning, go for group lessons, so that you know more people. Another reason i suggest this is because in mexico or most of the south american countries, the group lesson comprises two to three students only. It is like a private lesson.
after one or two weeks, you will find out more about the school or teaching, and then you can decide if you should go for group or private lessons. You must know that for private lessons to be effective, the teacher must be good. And that really depends. So I can’t make a blanket conclusion here. Just keep things open and you will be able to find the best way forward.
Going via the states (los angeles) seems to be a convenient way to fly to mexico. you can buy a return ticket to los angeles, and from there ticekts to mexico city. that will be cheaper than buying a direct flight ticket from hk to mexico city. But going via the states is really a hassel and you have to get the US visa although you just transit in the country.
how long do you plan to stay in mexico? are u holding a sars passport? then you won’t need to apply for a visa to go to mexico. you can go on a tourist visa though you go there just to study spanish. it is not a problem.
eliza, get relaxed and I am sure things will work out for you. you will like mexico and enjoy the life there. good luck with everything.
merry xmas!

（雖然證明的方法有點幼稚…sorry…）
我剛看完妳在秘魯與阿根廷遭遇的行囊消失與護照遺失的整個案件始末。

一個正安排在gap year四處旅行的台灣青年，
真的不知如何是好。
看來我得更加留意南美途中的賊中之王！
真得很喜歡妳的文字，有一種沈澱過後的坦然，

Anna 你好! 我剛才在網路上找到一位在台灣的西語教授的網頁﹐當中有些中西對照的極短篇﹐一些文法的講義﹐還有一些辭典工具的連結﹐看來好像挻有用的﹐所以就跑來留個言。哈哈﹐其實我還未能看懂那些西語故事﹐希望將來我有機會看得明白啦。那連結是: http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~luisa/
轉眼間已經是一月尾了﹐我也正準備辭職﹐懷著興奮的心情計劃自己的旅程。現在我還未能在 Granada, Salamanca, Malaga 三者之間作決定… 或者我會先到一個地方試學一兩星期﹐如果覺得不合適才再去別的城市。另外﹐我記得你說過在西班牙有一些 budget airline 飛南美﹐請問是 Air Madrid 嗎? 因為我看到這公司好像剛剛倒閉了﹐所以我不太肯定有沒有其他平價航空到南美…

Chocosea,
多謝你把學西班牙文的連結告訴我和其他朋友。為了方便檢索﹐我把你這部份的留言同時置于﹕
學西班牙文的免費資源
我其實會提議你先去西班牙南部﹐那裡有趣多了﹐除了GRANADA和MALAGA﹐你還可以考慮SERVILLA﹐當然我的至愛仍會是GRANADA﹐亦提議你先去那裡。
你有那麼多時間遊歷﹐千萬不要買來回機票﹐讓世界帶著你走﹐喜歡哪裡就留在哪裡﹐多久都可以。在歐洲西班牙和荷蘭有很多航機飛中美洲和南美洲﹐Air Madras倒閉了﹐可惜﹐你可以考慮martinair,是以荷蘭為基地的廉價航空公司﹐該公司有航機飛去墨西哥。不肯定是否有經西班牙的﹐如果沒有﹐歐洲的廉價航空公司例如ryanair, easyjet等﹐一定有航班連接西班牙和荷蘭。
什麼時候出發﹐記住在這裡打聲招呼。祝福你。

Anna, 謝謝你的回覆! 辭職後﹐我會先到北京個多月。除了想學好普通話﹐其實更重要的是﹐想趕在08奧運前看看真正的北京﹐總覺得奧運後﹐北京很多的傳統和特色都會消失… 我應該會在七八月的時候到達西班牙﹐適逄暑假﹐所以我也在考慮 Granada 大學辦的暑假語言課程﹐結束後才再到 castila 上課。
這幾天我看了一點西班牙歷史﹐知道Granada是摩爾人最後的根據地﹐又說那裡別具風格的回教建築﹐漂亮得連身為天主教徒的伊莎貝拉女王也捨不得拆毀。這些歷史令我對Granada這地方非常嚮往﹐所以也也決定要到Granada了! 而且除了西班牙文﹐我也很想見識其他南部文化(音樂和舞蹈)﹐有機會甚至想學學Flamenco。

Hi Anna,
祝你豬年萬事如意,心想事成啊~~
我從你介紹的網址(http://www.123teachme.com/search.php?relCityID=34),向Encuentros Spanish School詢問了一些有關spanish course的資料,發現價錢也不便宜啊,USD210per week,住宿(host family)則USD20 per day,還要另外付USD 100登記費呢~所以一個月下來的費用要1萬港元以上~你覺得這是合理嗎? 因為我在想,如果是這個價錢的話,較我想像中貴了一倍呢~不過我還在找資料中,其實只想問問你的意見~^^先謝謝啊~~

Anna你好
看了你的西班牙之旅，好羨慕你又好佩服你ㄚ。Las alpujarras,pampanella,malaga，cordoba, 等小城都是我想去的地方。
我和女兒預計4月底要到西班牙自助，就搭巴士或火車，不租車，路途遠的就搭飛機。但看網路上的資料看的迷糊了，想請教你我們的行程是否恰當，及附近有哪些推薦的景點你覺得真的要去看，以及要如何去。住宿的地方是否要先預定呢？
1. 直接飛到sevilla 在當地停留三天，就在附近搭火車或巴士可到的地方玩，想去cordoba請推薦哪些地方及如何去
2. 從sevill 搭車到granada，在當地停留2-3天，想去las alpujarras, malaga ，salobrena，但不知如何去。Las alpujarras 要如何去ㄚ？
3. 從granada搭飛機到barcelona, 在當地停留2-3天 再從barcelona 搭機離開西班牙。
其實我們的行程也沒一定非怎樣不可，只要適合是的皆可。還有西班牙的巴士是否可在網路上查詢，如可，要到何處查詢？請幫忙指導。謝謝

網上有列出巴士時間表﹐例如由GRANADA搭巴士前往各大城市的時間表。西班牙的巴士和火車系統很發達﹐我在南部遊玩時﹐大部份時間是搭巴士。如果距離不遠的﹐例如GRANADA與CORDOBA﹐及與MALAGA之間﹐當日去到巴士站買票上車就可以﹐每日有多班車行走﹐所以不是問題。

去las alpujarras的交通不是很方便﹐很多地方沒有公共巴士前往﹐不過GRANADA市內的旅行社有安排一日遊之類的﹐可以到了GRANADA之後查詢。
還有什麼問題﹐而我又能回答的﹐會盡力解答。

Anna 你好呀 Encantada. 我是在找在Granada生活的資料時無意中看到你的部落格的。之後再閱讀你其他文章，看完之後，有種很奇怪的感覺，很感動，很有共鳴，好像，心裡的感受都被你說了出來。
我也是一個學了西班牙語五六年的女生，也曾經在西班牙和拉丁美洲生活過，很愛很愛這個拉丁世界。也曾經在某些地方發生了幾段感情，也是在不同的原因之下，沒完沒了。這些年間，也不時回去曾經去過的地方，正如你說所，每次都因為不同的原因回去，當然，有時，是為了執著。
旅程，好像是尋找自我的過程。去的地方多了，有時候，覺得回憶很重，遇到的人，遇到的事，遇到的景致，豐富了我的生命。不過有時候，越希望尋找自己，就好像越迷失自己。去的地方越多，被感動的東西太多，難忙的情節太多，就越不知道自己是誰，越不知道自己在追尋甚麼…. Pero asi es la vida, no? jajaja.
怎樣也好，我很高興找到你的部落格，很喜歡你的文字，我的感受很多，好像你都給我說出來，看完你的部落格，內心好像舒服了一點，因為好像有個人明白我對旅程的感受。還有，很感謝你所分享的經歷，看完你的部落格，突然很想念granada，很想念Cordoba，很想念 buenos aires，很想念 mexico….. 哦, 又是思念滿滿的一夜。

Doris,多謝你的分享。你其實很幸福﹐有這樣多的回憶和感動。
到了某個階段﹐你不會再去尋﹐可能因為找到某個人﹐可能因為你再沒時間。
其實有得尋的歲月﹐雖然再迷失﹐也是美。

問個問題 怕被搶 東西放暗袋是指貼身腰包
還是背包的暗袋就可以了呢
我實在有點討厭因為怕被搶而做好一切讓自己更加提心調膽的準備呀

多謝你的留言和鼓勵。
毫無疑問一定是放貼身腰包(貼在身上那種)最安全。
我那次在阿根廷被偷證件﹐就是因為一時怕熱﹐沒有圍貼身腰包﹐而把證件銀包等放在背包﹐結果背包被偷﹐什麼都沒有了。

Encantada Anna!
我八月中會到Granada上兩個月西班牙文課，學校報了Enforex，後來有同學告知Enforex與美國很多大學有聯繫，所以美國人很多…於是，在 google裡看到你在Castila的美好時光，我動搖了…
趁還有機會轉學校，我想請教你幾件事：
(1) Accomodation我是希望住Spanish Family的，選擇double room和half board，那就可以有一頓是跟同學到處走走，這樣好嗎? 而你那時候是住在哪裡的呢?
(2) 其實我是抵喜歡Malaga的，如果我先在Malaga呆一個月，再到Granada讀一個月，學的東西可以銜接起來嗎? 要是在Malaga，你有什麼學校推薦一下?
我其實是準備出走三個月，兩個月就在南部學校學Spanish，其餘日子就到葡萄牙、西班牙北部走走，最後到Barcelona回香港。
日子雖然不長，可是我真的很期待!!!
先謝謝你的幫忙，muchas gracias! 你的blog是我今天發現的一個瑰寶 :)

daisy,多謝你的留言。我同樣祝福你。
Joy,我嘗試回答你的問題。
(1)half board 肯定比full board好﹐因為你有時間和同學聚頭﹐尤其上午上完課﹐正好是一齊出外吃飯的時間﹐如果要趕著回寄宿家庭吃﹐很掃興的。而且﹐full board的價錢頗貴。至於選雙人房﹐意味你和一位同學同住一間房﹐你會習慣嗎﹖我就肯定會選單人房。
(2)放心好了﹐ 不會出現銜接的問題﹐語言學校都是頗靈活的﹐最緊要看你同期是否有和你相近程度的學生﹐及教的老師是否好。不過﹐有時﹐無須顧慮太多﹐西班牙的語言學校一般水準都不錯。對不起﹐我對MALAGA的語言學校不太熟悉﹐沒有認識的學校可推薦。
深信你在西班牙的日子一定愉快難忘﹐回來後﹐或在西國期間﹐有時間的話﹐來這裡留個言﹐好嗎﹖
祝好。

hola anna, 我之前有留過comment俾你架, 我今次係有個問題, 雖然之前去過西班牙, 不過唔係太熟malaga的地方, 你在那裡讀過書, 我相信你一定比我清楚很多, 我下個月放假會再返去西班牙, 其中我想抽1-2個星期待在一個城市或者小鎮上上西語課, 有三個地點我都蠻有興趣的, 第一是 cadiz city，第二是cadiz省裡面的一個山城 Vejer de la frontera，第三係馬拉加的 Nerja．其中以cadiz生活費最便宜, 有人說 vejer很美很小, 不過不適宜待哪麼多天, 有朋友又說 nerja很美, 不過很touristic到處都是德國人英國人，個人覺得cadiz city蠻特別的，不過好想nerja比較悠閑，我想問你有沒有去過這些地方，選哪個地方比較好呢，你有甚麼建議哦? 還有，你有沒有從西班牙南部過摩洛哥哦? 有的話，希望你可以跟我分享一下哦，muchas gracias por tus consejos!!!!!!!!!

hola doris我記得你。你提的地方﹐我只去過neja,並不建議你去﹐太多歐洲遊客了﹐來晒太陽﹐嘆海灘的﹐沒意思﹐我會建議你去vejer de la frontera,我雖然沒有去過﹐但這一直是我想去卻未去的地方﹐你的朋友說得對﹐小而美﹐因為這個原因﹐我特想去﹐為此還做過不少資料搜集。我覺得你在這裡住上一兩個星期沒有問題﹐悶了﹐你可以坐車到其他地方﹐例如Cadiz﹐你是以VEJER為基地罷了。
我沒有從南部過摩洛哥的經驗﹐抱歉。

你好!我上年到了阿根廷交流一年, 今年18歲,能夠說基本西班牙文, 現在有意到西班牙讀書, 大概讀1至2年, 我想問, 如我住homestay, 學費和生活費大概多少錢呢?
何時開學?我能夠半工讀嗎?
From 留言冊, 2007/07/20 at 11:14 PM

anna
如果你想讀1-2年﹐可以考慮先在語言學校讀幾個星期﹐先適應下當地的生活﹐一般而言﹐語言學校較小班教學﹐對學生的照顧較多。長遠而言﹐你應該選擇大學所設的語言中心﹐學費較便宜外﹐他們的課程設計亦比較針對長期學習。
語言學校隨時可以開學﹐至於大學的語言中心﹐一年有幾個開學日期﹐你要自己查資料了。
要半工讀可能很難。法例不容許之外﹐亦難找到工。當地人的就業機會都不是很好﹐何況外地人。
在西班牙住homestay,並不便宜﹐幾年前我已經覺得好貴﹐所以沒有選擇﹐當時是在GRANADA﹐包食﹐超過千二歐元。

Hola Anna,
不好意思, 之前太忙, 也沒有時間來看看你的日記.
下星期六我就出發了, 今天開始不用上班, 可以好她收拾一下東西 :)
畢竟是第一次去那麼遠的地方, 心情還是很緊張, 不知道會否出現什麼問題, 張羅起來又手忙腳亂… 不過我還是很期待的 :)
我希望可以和你保持聯緊啦, 之後BLOG建好了, 會跟你們分享
你在Granada或Malaga有些朋友嗎? 說不定我可以跟他們見見面呢~

Hola Joy, how nice to talk to you again and knowing that you are about to set off on a wonderful journey. Do keep in touch and i look forward to hearing your travel story and experience.
Once a teacher of mine in granada is now teaching in “centro de lenguas modernas” in granada. Her name is Cristina Jiminez. You can look her up in the school. She will know me. We exchanged greetings not long ago through a mutual friend. She is a very good spanish teacher.
Take care and have a memorable journey.

真的是每一篇日誌都很受用呢～
我目前也是在學西班牙文，但因為
是在台灣，沒有環境，有一種再怎
麼努力學也沒有效果的感覺…老實說
有點灰心。
剛剛看了Anna的學西文的歷程，真的是很
激勵我。希望以後自己也能到西語系
國家闖一闖，學到真正的西文～
謝謝Anna的分享～

HI Anna,
很久沒留言給你,你近來如何呢?
我仍在找學西班牙文的資料. 想請教你當年有沒有去過Guatemala? 因為我發現這裡學西班牙文很便宜,加上這地方的風土人情確實很吸引,即使不去讀書,也想去旅遊. 但我卻發現想找有關Visa問十分困難…因為香港沒有他的領事館. 所以想知你或你的朋友有沒有人去過這個地方呢? 香港人要簽證嗎? 如果我從Mexico用陸路過境,可以申請落地簽證嗎?…..
希望不會太麻煩你~
對, 我今年去了外蒙古,有興趣請再到我的網址逛逛啊~

Hola Anna,
I happen to visit your site couple weeks ago and found it as a treasure, as I really enjoy reading your articles!
Just earlier I aware someone in backpackers webiste of Taiwan asking info about learning Spanish in Latin America. So I wonder if you would mind me to paste your blog link on the backpackers site for the questioner’s reference?
Thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful blog and great experiences for everyone!

你好,无意中看到你的部落格,好羡慕你已去过那么多的地方.我计划明年去中南美洲游学四个月左右,正在考虑去秘鲁还是危地马拉学西语?有以下问题想借鉴你的宝贵经验给予我这个小白指点迷津.非常感谢!!
1,安全问题,不知道这两个国家哪个对于单身女游客来讲更安全些呢?
2,发音问题,哪个国家的发音更接近西班牙语的发音呢?
3,费用问题,本着背包客的简朴精神为宗旨在当地游学四个月的学费,住宿费,当地景点的门票和跟当地旅行团的费用大概要多少?
4,航班和签证问题,我在广州大陆护照不知道去这些中南美国家是不是也可以办落地签呢?如果我从香港坐航班走有没有直航呢?我不想办美国的过境签,在国内办美签太麻烦了.
5, 行李问题,对于一个单身女孩去那边住四个月的行李有哪些是必备的呢?手提可以带吗?
对不起,问题太多了,还请耐心解答!再次感谢您!

yuki,我只可就我所知回答你的部份問題
1)秘魯會較安全
2)兩個國家的西語發音都相當清晰
3)不會太貴﹐尤其是危地馬拉﹐你如果去一些語言學校的網站看看﹐就會大概估計到所花為幾。
4)恐怕難以辦落地簽証。香港沒有直航機去這兩個國家。如果不經美國也可以﹐例如經荷歐洲﹐但機票會很貴。
5)我曾寫過﹐我出遠門﹐一定帶塊布﹐當床鋪﹐還有就是一些藥物﹐除此﹐沒有什麼必備的﹐在當地很多東西都可以買到。
其實你提到的兩個國家﹐我鼓勵你去秘魯﹐我覺得較安全﹐當地人亦友善﹐食物好吃﹐文化更豐富多彩。
