It\u2019s a place where family is very important and everyone is kind enough to help you out if you get lost. I have been happy to have my house five minutes away from the beach and the university. During the first week, I have noticed how everyone helps you improve your Spanish. Classes in school are very interesting because it\u2019s not only students from Lowell but from all over the world. I have met people from all over the world. I like the idea of having classes with other international students because they can help you out and vice versa. Class is a place where you go to learn the language and grammar, but also where you can have discussion on anything you don\u2019t understand with the language. Spanish in Cadiz is the main language, which is a great way to expand my vocabulary in the language. Learning the language in Cadiz is interesting because you can learn the different meanings to different words. Living with a host family that only speaks the language is the best part because not only are you speaking Spanish at school but at home you must speak it. In the past week, I have learned a list of new words that are new to my vocabulary. The class schedule here is comfortable enough where it\u2019s not too early and not too late in the day. I enjoy the environment in school because it\u2019s very welcoming and everyone encourages you. Everyone who lives in Cadiz has different rhythms in speaking either very fast or well off speed to understand, which connects to the idea of having two professors is a great idea. The two teachers have different teaching styles and different ways of speaking. I have enjoyed being in the classrooms very much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of my\nfavorite things about Cadiz are the beautiful beaches that it has. Cadiz is surrounded\nby the Atlantic Ocean. The view is amazing and the water is even more amazing\ncompared to the cold beaches that we have in the United States. La Caleta Beach\nis a five-minute walk from my house which is the reason why I look forward\ngoing to the beach all the time. La Caleta Beach is stunning with their\nsailboats in the water. The sunset is a great view as well to see in the night.\nI was very surprised when I was told that the sunsets so late at night, so it\nmakes the day feel longer and nights shorter. Another beach is La Santa Maria\nwhich is very nice and I\u2019d say bigger than La Caleta. I experience here in\nCadiz the caring for one another is great to see that people would ask me if it\u2019s\nokay to watch their belongings. This city has shown me how everyone here is\nhappy to help one another. Coming to Cadiz it\u2019s a must to visit both beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1685-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1685-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1685-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1685-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1685-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Sunset at La Caleta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1926-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1926-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1926-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1926-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.uml.edu\/cadiz-spain-summer-2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/161\/2019\/08\/IMG_1926-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Playa Santa Maria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming to Cadiz has been one of the greatest opportunities I have been handed.
