Students of Spanish language decide in favour
of a low-priced alternative to Spanish host family
Learning a
language does not only mean to learn vocabulary and grammar, it also means to
get familiar with the culture belonging to a certain language. The last two
years more and more Spanish language students realised this connection between
culture and language by means of a class trip to Valencia. In Valencia the
students of Spanish language get to know a beautiful city, Spanish culture and
practise Spanish at the same time.
Usually the
school classes, mainly coming from Germany,
Italy, England and Norway, decided for the
accommodation in host families. The accommodation as well as the class trip
itself, spare time activities and the language course can be organised by the
Spanish language school in Valencia.
But
frequently the stay in a host family does not coincide with the expectations of
the participants of the class trip.
“The idea
of the constellation of the host families as it exists for example in Germany is not very popular in Spain. Instead
of living in a family of a father, mother and often more than one child, the
students find themselves living in an apartment together with a divorced or
widowed women who finances her standards of living by the accommodation of
guests“, explains Andreas Teßmer, director of the Spanish language school Costa
de Valencia.
Therefore,
a new trend can be noticed recently among the language students who decide to
spend their school trip in Valencia.
More and more Spanish language students decide in favour of a well-priced
alternative to Spanish host families which they organise by themselves: the
accommodation in one of the numerous
youth hostels, like the Nest Hostels
situated in the centre of Valencia. There the whole group has the opportunity
to find accommodation in private double rooms or in shared dorm rooms with a
maximum of 12 beds at reasonable prices.
The concept
of the Nest Hostels is based on the
establishment of a community of young travellers. The structure of Nest Hostels reflects the idea of sharing;
everything in the hostel is collectively by its guests: the kitchen, the
bathrooms, the dorms and even a bar. Thus, the hostels create ideal conditions
for the school classes to meet young people from all over the world.
Despite the
organisation of the accommodation by the classes themselves, they often ask for
help of Spanish schools in Valencia
regarding the organisation of the school trip and free time activities. The Spanish
language school Costa de Valencia offers to take responsibility for the organisation
of a stay. They consider the individual needs of every class to create a
program and also offer a tutor to accompany the group. Due to its status as an
official educational centre the school can offer entrances for many famous
Valencian attractions at reduced prices, like the Bioparc or the Ciudad de las artes y las ciencias.
The language school also organises Paella contests, Salsa dancing, a visit to
the natural park La Albufera and a lot more.
In this
way, the Spanish language students have the possibility to experience an
unforgettable school trip with their whole class in Valencia, to learn Spanish and get
to know Valencian culture at the same time.
