My experience in Edinburgh



"No podemos enseñar un idioma, sólo podemos crear las condiciones adecuadas para aprenderlo"
With this sentence we can make a short reflexion about the importance of the acquisition of a new language; in this sense, our travel to a foreign language country has been the best way of creating these conditions, being inside of a different culture and language.
Travelling to Edinburg was a great experience in all the possible senses. Making a little summary, I can say that the course that we studied in the Edinburgh School of English was based on methodology, but it was not the typical one since the teacher known how to make it very fun!On the other hand, this course gave us the oportunity to know a lot of people from different countries such as Germany, Czech Republic,Ireland and so on.
Talking about the landscape and the town in general I only can say that it was wonderful! There are a lot of green zones, parks, botanical gardens, mythical mountains where is said to be buried the king Arthur, the high lands (incredible isles where is the monster of the lock ness), their real castles...
However the visit was not be the same in another date, since in August is the festival of Edinburgh: performances, comedies, magic, different culture musicians,dancers, markets...Moreover the nocturnal life is full of typical pubs in which you can listen to live music,drink warm beer, and of course ,dance!it is fantastic! Another option is to go to horror tours in which a guide will tell and drive you to the past of the town, a very black past: burned witches, murders, secret corridors...Frightening!
Not so good are the weather and the food, but everything cannot be perfect!
At last we can say that Edinburgh is a magical city in which you'll believe being inside of a fairy tale;until now, I can say that it has been one of the most beautiful experineces of my life!
