Since I am now in Spain and the computer I use has no Chinese input system, I have to write in English.
Well, I´ve spent three days in Salamanca and two days in a language school (Isla) so far. My feeling is, the city and the school are not too bad, but trust me, Granada and the school I attended there (Castila) are still the best.
First of all, Salamanca is full of very young people, many of whom are secondary and university students from Europe and US who come to the city in groups just to study Spanish. The school I attended is a reflection of the city, with the majority of its students, at the moment, being secondary and university students coming from United States, Germany and Norway. The school atmosphere is very much dominated by these student groups who speak in their native languages after class most of the time.
I will write more later about the teaching of the school, and the city itself. But for the moment, a piece of advice for you: if you are not too young, i.e. like me (well, up to you to imagine what is ¨not too young¨), better not come to Salamanca to study Spanish. You will feel that you do not belong here. But if you think you are young (at least at heart), here is the city for you!

Really? I am thinking to go to Salamanca next year and I think i am not too young although I am still under 30……….
Is there really a good place to go and how’s the school?
Wow~Salamanca is really a city which is full of students..
I think most of whom’s age are between 18 to 22…is that right?
If everything goes smoothly, I will complete my study
at age 23 or 24..maybe too old to go there.
Anyway, I still expect to read more articals
about this school and your precious experince and
suggestion~~
[...] However, if you want to study spanish here, there are things you may need to consider. As mentioned in the last post, the people who come here to study spanish are very young. In the past week, a group of secondary students from England arrived in my school (Isla). They are only 16 or 17 years old. [...]
