An interpretation of studying in Spain on Spanish issues
1, how to learn Spanish by yourself with zero foundation?
Now the resources on the Internet are very rich, so we can make full use of the existing resources to study.
Self-study from scratch must attach importance to the initial transformation of pronunciation and Spanish thinking. At the beginning, you can find an experienced teacher to take you from the beginning and then continue to study by yourself.
After all, for most students, Spanish is the first Latin we come into contact with, and some grammatical thinking is completely different from English and Chinese.
Change your mind, and follow-up study will be easier.
2. Can I get A 1 after learning the first volume of Modern Spanish?
Yes, the grammar and vocabulary involved in the new edition can cover a 1, but it is recommended to read more simple original articles and be familiar with Spanish thinking and authentic expression.
In addition, if you have to take the primary grade certificate, it is recommended to take a2 or b 1 directly.
3. How long does it take to learn Spanish after b2?
It varies from person to person. Under normal circumstances, it is quite common to pass b2 after 2-3 years of intensive reading. Of course, some students can get b2 in more than a year, but you don't need to be under pressure. If you keep on studying according to your own plan and pace, you will certainly get it.
4. What level do you need to reach to understand Spanish in class?
In fact, it is not easy to understand Spanish in class, and some professional problems, even Chinese, sometimes sound difficult. However, it is necessary to reach the level of B2 or C 1, which is also a threshold for normal study and listening.
5. Is grammar important?
Important, but communication and understanding are more important. If Spanish is just one of the tools for living abroad, then the most important thing is to express your thoughts and opinions fluently and accurately, and accept each other's information correctly and quickly. But these must also be supported by some grammatical knowledge.
6. Can't you learn Spanish well without vibrato?
As the first stumbling block for everyone to know Spanish, vibrato scares away too many multilingual learners. But there are many other important and difficult knowledge points in Spanish besides vibrato. You can practice slowly in the process of learning, and you don't need to dispel your enthusiasm for learning just because you just started practicing vibrato.
7. What are the advantages of Sile compared with Dele?
More flexible: more exams, more examination rooms, and can be divided into subjects.
The results are quick, usually 1-3 weeks.
Grades can be flexibly divided. For example, a person's goal is C 1, but getting a B2 in the final exam is better than getting a DeleC 1 with no results.
8. How to overcome the problem of speaking too fast in Spanish listening?
In addition to the platitudes of memorizing more words, brushing more questions and listening to authentic listening materials, senior sister thinks that one of the reasons for listening comprehension is that she can't speak. If you want to input, you can try to output first. Oral English improves listening comprehension and is easy to make a breakthrough.
9. Will you forget English when you learn Spanish?
Any language will be forgotten and unfamiliar if you don't say it for a long time, but it is certain that English and Spanish will have conflicts in pronunciation in the early stage of learning Spanish. Grammar, some English grammars will be helpful to Spanish learning, but there will also be some unique grammatical thinking in Spanish that English does not have, so we should pay attention to the distinction.
10, how to ensure that Spanish will not be forgotten in China for a long time?
A few small methods for your reference: 1. Keep a diary in Spanish; 2. Find a Spanish partner; 3. Insist on watching Spanish movies and TV series; 4. Force yourself to speak Spanish when you return home (for example, when you talk to yourself, you also use Spanish when you fantasize about romantic scenes in your mind); 5. Read foreign periodicals, Spanish news and so on every day.
Extended Reading: Types of Scholarships for Studying in Spain
1, scholarship for further study
Scholarships for further study include: master's and doctoral degrees, master's and doctoral dissertations, specialized courses and medical majors, and internships. When applying for a scholarship for further study, the applicant must first contact his school or the corresponding institution in advance to ensure that he can successfully apply to the institution within the specified time. Secondly, applicants need to inform universities and colleges of their further research.
2. Art scholarship
Art scholarship is a scholarship to encourage students to achieve excellent results in Spanish art courses. To apply for a scholarship, the applicant must be an art-related student or a student studying for an art degree. Secondly, the applicant becomes a candidate after applying, and the candidate needs to be admitted to a cultural center or an enterprise related to culture and art. No matter which country the scholarship is, the amount is not enough to pay the living expenses. It's just that the national government provides people who are engaged in short-term education and study in Spain as the cost of continuing their studies.
3.Erasmus Scholarship
This scholarship is a cooperative project within the European Union. EU students can study in other EU member countries as Erasmus exchange students, and the government and the EU will provide scholarships for students' daily living expenses and tuition fees. According to statistics, tuition in Spain is already very cheap. According to Guan Ai's experience, if a student lives and studies in a city like Madrid, the monthly rent is 250-300 euros (about 2,000-2,400 yuan), the water and electricity fee plus living expenses is 200 euros (about RMB 1600 yuan), and the annual living expenses are 70,000 yuan. Undergraduate students only need to pay a registration fee of 65,438+0,000 euros (about 8,000 RMB) every year, while the total annual fee for master students in a city like Madrid is about 65,438+0,000,000 RMB. If it is in a relatively small and cheap city like Salamanca or Granada, the annual budget is about 80,000 RMB.
4. Spanish general scholarship
One is called Matrícula de Honor, and the other is called scholarship, Beca General y de Movilidad. The former scholarship is provided to students with top academic performance, and the scholarship ratio is about 30%. Students who get Matrícula de Honor can get scholarships for excellent subjects, and the corresponding credit tuition fees for the next year can be reduced or exempted. The second kind of financial aid is open to all students. The condition to meet the aid is that students pass 60% of the first-year registered credits, followed by families with poor family conditions, and the deposit in the bank does not exceed 40,000. For non-EU students, proof of annual income is required to apply. If they or their families don't work in Spain and have no Spanish work certificate, they can't apply for this subsidy.
Further reading: considerations for studying abroad and renting a house in Spain
1. Location and environment
Many people will consider the price, apartment type and housing facilities when renting a house, but when studying abroad, safety is the most important.
If the rented house is too far away, it will be unsafe to go home from school. Nights abroad are not as lively as in China, and there are few people in many communities outside the center after dark. Girls should be especially careful if they walk alone at night. Therefore, I suggest that you choose a more prosperous location, such as the city's business district, scenic spots, transportation hubs and other places to live. First, there are many people in these places, and bad people are not easy to start; Secondly, the surrounding facilities are relatively complete, and it is convenient to buy food, eat and shop.
In addition, it should be noted that because most places in Spain can't help motorcycles, the houses next to large traffic arteries will be noisy, which is not conducive to rest. When choosing a house, you should pay attention to avoiding such places.
2. Distance from school
Although Spain is not big, it will be a headache if the traffic time to and from school is too long every day. Most schools will be built in the city center or suburbs. When choosing a house, you should pay attention to whether there is a direct bus or subway to the school. It is to choose a place with both buses and subways-if there is a subway strike, you can choose the bus; When there is a traffic jam in rainy days, the subway can also send you to school on time.
3. Method of renting a house
There are many ways to rent a house in Spain, some from WeChat group (beware of strangers) and some from small notes on roadside telephone poles. The most common way is to use intermediaries and some rental software.
Here, I would like to remind you that whether you choose an intermediary company from overseas or China, you must find a formal intermediary with good reputation, sign a standardized contract and pay more attention. China's intermediary companies, in particular, should ask their seniors and sisters about their reputation in advance, and don't let their guard down just because they are all from China. In recent years, more than one foreign student has encountered the situation that the intermediary does not refund the deposit. After graduation, the intermediary just disappeared out of thin air, and the deposit of several thousand euros is gone forever.
Besides, the photos you see on the Internet are not necessarily true. If you decide to rent this room, I suggest you go to the scene to check it out to avoid being cheated. When you decide to sign a house, in addition to checking the terms of the contract, it is recommended to photograph every part of the room to prevent the intermediary from asking you for compensation when checking out. Whether the last tenant's utilities and property fees have been settled also needs everyone's attention.
4. Roommates
First of all, it is suggested that girls should not share a room with several strange male roommates alone. We all come from all corners of the country and don't know each other at all. When we are abroad, we should try our best to minimize the risk factors.
There are also many students who tend to be roommates with Spaniards. Indeed, some students have made good friends in this way and integrated into the local culture. But at the same time, quite a few people have found a Spanish roommate for the purpose of practicing Spanish. As a result, they found that everyone's diet and manners were very different. In the end, they became strangers and didn't practice Spanish, which added a lot of trouble to themselves.
