I might look into teaching/tutoring while im there, so I can have some spending money. What is the weather like in july, lately i've been dressing with button up and ties, I dont want to be sweating up a storm out there tho.
Yeah man, you're an inspiration, its hard to learn a language..well to commit yourself to really putting in the time, Ive been study Spanish for like 3 years but I took a break, and just in the last year i've been going hard with it. There are so many distractions, and a lot of the time I start getting into convos with people, and I hit a wall where they say something and I have no idea what they said, shyt makes me want to quit, but I just telling them to repeat it, then I try to change the subject
I feel you, I hit so many walls and gave up a lot of times because of the lack of help and the difficulty of understanding the nuances of the language. This was before I starting buying books and using the internet heavily. Before, I had words but didn't know how to construct them into sentences, but now I have little to no problems constructing sentences. Just keep on pushing.
Ill be there from june 28-july 28, how long will you be in France?
I think I need to start reading in Spanish, do you have any books you would recommend?

I'mma keep it funky... All of my reading comes from newspaper articles, more notably, sports articles... I'm not one for Spanish literature, boss. I'm sorry I can't recommend anything. All the books I have bought on Spanish were ones that would help with grammar and vocabulary.

. It's never too late to make a change, just keep grinding. In the last few years, I've been getting told im an inspiration or inspired them from rich people, older people, younger, male, female, people i've known for years and some for a few months...That shyt inspires me too, it touches my heart
it's always out of nowhere too. Idk it's weird because I feel like I haven't really done much

Have a great time. I live in Spain for a year off and on. Had a great time and made a lot of friends. Beautiful women, culture, and country. Didn't make it Salamanca but it's supposed to be beautiful and has a huge university maybe the largest in Spain. Pro-tip summers are very warm. Also men don't wear shorts or sandals except to the beach. Dress shyts, jeans, and loafers are the way to go. Blazers or sports jackets and slacks if you really want to go all out. The nightlife is amazing.
Buses are the cheapest way to travel and usually the fastest unless you pay for the high speed trains(where available) which cost as much if not more than flying. For flights I use skyscanner to find the best deals. If you can see Barcelona, Granada, Madrid, San Sebastian, and Sevilla.
Some photos from my trip

Yeah, I will be studying at that huge university, I hear its like the oxford of the Spanish world. I will only have the weekends to really go to other cities what are the top 3 that you would recommend. I hope to make a trip to Portugal for a weekends because its only like a 3-4 hour drive from Salamanca to the coast or Portugal.Skyscanner is good, this girl I know said she used ryanair.com for really cheap flight when she was in Italy so I will look at both to see whats the cheapest. I wish I could stay longer after the trip, to visit all of those cities, but which would you recommend if you only had a day or two there?
Thanks for the tips, I was hoping it wouldnt be too hot, but I will bring button ups and some ties. Im hoping to get some more all black shoes, my all blacks noy got a purple tint to them on half of it and are cracked, maybe ill hit up payless...they dont have payless out there right? nobody will know but the Americans
Looking at your pics youve been all over, I want to go to Morocco Bad, Im hoping I will be able to return one day and make that trip, what was your favorite place that you have ever gone?

best advice in the threadSpain coo. Been here for 8 months.
I need to take the cercanias to Salamanca tho.....get an abono so u can go to Madrid capital all the time. Blablacar.es for cheap travel too. The mami'shave hella style........50% of the time they're on
but the other half will love the melanin.
....and u can make some bread teaching english....Dont u ask for less than 15E per hour tho.
That's our floor.
I had to look that up, but will dosay whats good to all the gallegos for me breh
The town I'll be studying in has a lot of people coming for all over to study at the university, im not sure if I could earn much, but I will try to find some sort of income while im there so I can eat good.
Have fun and be safe.
