Aventuras Alicantinas

I spent August-September 2010 on a Spanish language course in Alicante, Spain, as part of my year abroad. Lessons took up five hours of each weekday, but what else was there do to in this coastal metropolis? Here's what I got up to, broken down into five parts published as weekly blog posts between September and October 2012:

• Part 1: Un Llegado Alicantino
• Part 2: La Hora de Clase
• Part 3: Castillos, Costas y Ciudades
• Part 4: La Vida Nocturna
• Part 5: Madrid y Valencia

Do we respect our own languages?

In 2012, the Do we respect our own languages? series looked at whether 

one can be proud to speak a certain language natively and how seriously threats from other languages are being taken.
