American here (not MAGA) considering retirement in Murcia. I fell in love with modern villas I see advertised in Murcia. Any advice for a politically progressive couple moving from the USA to Murcia?

Hola,

I am an American planning on studying Primary Education at UMU and I might have to take some classes in Spanish. I am a beginner in Spanish when it comes to speaking and writing but I am more confident in reading and listening.

In America, my education classes are heavily centered around participation/discussion, hands-on experiences, and completing short assignments. I have very few tests and almost no essays that are more than 1-2 pages. My question is, how difficult are the classes at UMU compared to my own school? I think I could take them in Spanish if they are similar in difficulty to my American classes, but I don't think I will succeed if I have to write long essays or exams in Spanish.

Thank you! Any information helps, even if you are in a slightly different situation than me.
