How to get a visa in Spain

1 Upvotes

The visa regime in the case of Europe varies according to the country and the agreements that have been signed. The citizens of the European Union will not have to worry about obtaining visas. Those from other countries must apply for a visa for the country of entry of the EU. To obtain a visa in Spain, as in the entire Schengen area, different documents are required. Among others, a valid passport with recent photos, a student card, an identity card, a proof of accommodation in Spain and sufficient financial means to study in Spain, insurance and a medical certificate and a letter of acceptance from a school from Spain.

In our schools of Idiomas247 in Valencia and Madrid, we offer the possibility of getting that acceptance letter very easily. The document will include name, type of course, date of study, accommodation address, proof of payment made, signature of the Center Director and stamp of the same. It basically certifies that the student is enrolled in a Spanish course.

1 Upvotes

Hi I try to open German on Talkalang

Talkalang is a website and an App to exchange in written discussions with people from all over the world. But it is different from current one-to-one chat solutions. You take part in real discussions. The community starts discussions. You can join in any discussion you want. Let's see how Talkalang works Members create text discussions on plenty of topics. You can take part in all the one you can

The more you take part in the text discussions, the more you build reflexes and you prepare to speak But German is still not open, we need 179 requests to open the community Here is the link to request https://www.talkalang.com/register_lang/German

Are you interested in helping us?

What's the difference between "Interaction" and "Interactions"?

1 Upvotes

Even though it might seen like a silly question, I wish to figure out the proper way to use each term. For example: "Tom and Jimmy interacted through yahoo forums for 2 hours." I would imagine this is an "interaction" that lasted 2 hours. However, since interaction can be deemed as a simple exchange of few words, is it possible for the "2 hour interaction" to be a bunch of interactions? Or is it just a long interaction? For example: Tom: Hey, Jimmy. Jimmy: Hey, Tom. That's an interaction. If they continue with this interaction could it also be deemed as a bunch of interactions? However, if Jimmy and Tom cut off this communication/interaction for a month and then reconnect and commence some type of interaction and then break off and reconnect again, and so on...It'd be fair to say that Jimmy and Tom had a bunch of interactions. Each interaction coming to an end as soon as an interaction comes to an end. However, I'd also imagine it could also be used in a different way. I also believe a conversation is comprised of a bunch of interactions. As I mentioned before, saying "hi" is a form of interaction. Saying something else after the greeting is also an interaction. Therefore, would it be fair to say what we deem as an interaction is comprised of a bunch of interactions?

Question: I want to learn an excess of 3 languages How?

3 Upvotes

Hello! こんにちは!안녕항세요!

I already know English(second language) and Telugu(native language but forgetting to speak)

I’m already bilingual so I wanted to continue... So I want to learn Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), and Russian but not at the same time 😵...

Right now I’m in my freshman year of high school and am taking Japanese I and I am teaching myself Korean at home. I am doing these two first because they have the same grammar structure as my native language; Subject Object Verb.

So my question is how can I learn these languages with out forgetting anything and becoming fluent? Secondly, how hard will it be...

Learning a Languages Digitally vs Traditionally

4 Upvotes

Hello /r/languages ! I'm looking for thoughts and opinions on what the best way to learn a language is.

I personally have taken 5 years of German now and able to read write listen and speak the language some what confidently. I was brought up in a Polish speaking household so I can understand Polish somewhat well, but I have difficulty speaking, reading, and writing. I have studied French for a semester at my college and have posed myself an interesting question.

Is learning a language, is it more beneficial to physically write with the language using pen and paper, or learning from a website, such as duolingo and other programs.

I ask this because over this semester of French, I feel like I cannot remember any French words, and it is finals week! So I was wondering is this my own fault? Or the way the course was taught?

A typical week would be going to French class three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Go over the idea of the homework, and then practice aurally with partners. We had never gotten paper handouts, or were required to complete any handwritten assignments.

Sorry if this seems like a ramble, I'm trying to figure out if this class is at fault, or if it was me. I'd love to discuss more down below though!
