.~. Living abroad .~.
Wowwww!!! It is very difficult for me to describe how happy I am for being in Austin.
Today is better than yesterday and I know that
tomorrow will be better than today. Every place I visit I discover something
new. Every day when I go to ESL or to the UT, I meet new people. All the
activities we make are amazing. All the moments I am sharing with my Friends of
Fulbright will be forever in my heart. Everything here is awesome!
It is very common to meet student who attend
schools or universities outside their home countries because there are a lot of
reasons to choose study abroad.
Firstly, if you want to learn how to speak another language or maybe you only want to improve your current level of it, studying abroad is a perfect option. On my last post I have spoken about my problems with the language… today I am extremely happy to can tell you that I am finding the ways to understand what people want to say to me and also improving my pronunciation (mmm, it is not easy to listen to me because sometimes my words sound horrible, but thank you for being so sympathetic with me).
Secondly, if your wish is live as people from
another countries you should apply in a university outside your native country.
Living abroad you are going to have the schedules that people from the new
country have, for example it is extremely rare for me to have dinner at 7 p.m
because in my country I usually have dinner at 9.30 p.m. Living abroad you will
taste food you had never tasted before… sometimes they would be delicious and
another days you will wish not to taste them. Living abroad you will make
activities you don’t use to make in your country, and everything you make it
would be awesome for you. Living abroad you will know animals you can’t see in
your country. Living abroad you will find every day something new that will
surprised you. Living abroad you will wear some clothes that are unusual in
your town. Living abroad you will meet natives who are extremely kind with you,
for example Austinities are one of the most friendly women and men I had never
met.
Thirstily, and in my opinion the most important
reason because you should choose to attend to a college outside your home
country is that you can meet people who have different cultures and habits.
Some universities are multicultural so there are women and men from all over
the world. In my personal case in Austin, I am living a cultural experience I
had never thought I could live. It is extremely interesting talk with people
who have different ways of living their lives as me. I always have a new topic to speak with them!
I learn a lot of things that books don’t allow me to learn.
If you love life, you should apply for an
exchange program!
What a great feeling is to improve with a foreign language! Most of us are feeling the same which is awesome!
ResponderBorrarAnto, you just tell what I am feeling day by day here! This experience it's really amazing and, as you write, the most important reason to apply for an abrod scholarchip is the chance to meet new people.
ResponderBorrarI am improving my English too. Such a relief sensation!
This is great, unbelievably great! You described it perfectly, and shearing this experience with you also it is. And to add something more to your post, if it’s a Fulbright scholarship, is better! hahaha
ResponderBorrarNice experiences you are writing. Studying abroad and being immerse in another culture is a great opportunity to learn new things and of course improve your language skills. PS: I love life too hahah.
ResponderBorrarYeeeah I love the life too!! I also love the opportunity to talk with from all arround the world and share experiences with them. We are having an unique experience here!!
ResponderBorrarI think it's great for our english to live in an english-speaking country for some time. You learn how real english is. And skmetimes you even hear expressions you have never heard before.
ResponderBorrarWhat a great post about the benefits of studying abroad. I'm glad you got the opportunity to come to Austin, and you are sharing your experiences and passion about international studying to others :)
