Spain 2 month stay

Hi has anybody just stayed in Spain for 2 months to 鈥榣ive like a local鈥. We are New Zealanders聽 living in Australia and are thinking about doing this in a year or so. We do not speak the language. Have travelled a lot in the past.聽 Thanks

Hello looneytoones,


Welcome to 大咖福利影院 馃榾


鈥淟iving like a local鈥 is a bit broad. Could you please elaborate on your vision of living like a local?


That said, I would say that even without speaking fluent Spanish, you can still integrate by learning basic phrases, being patient in daily interactions, and choosing areas where locals actually live rather than heavily tourist-driven districts.


All the best,

Hello

Absolutely. This is something we did twice before finally moving here from the USA.聽 Two months is a good amount of time to experience the local vibe.聽 聽In two months,聽 you will be able to see local attractions, do a little shopping and relaxing, perhaps a wee bit of travelling, a lot of wandering about, and trying local food.聽


Speaking the language is usually not a problem for a two-month stay because you will not need to involve yourself with the bureaucracy of local governments, communicate with local tradesmen or medical staff.聽 The amount of Spanish versus English you will need to enliven your stay depends an awful lot on the destination.聽 The further away from the coastal towns that attract foreign residents, the more knowing a little Spanish will be helpful.聽 However, Spaniards are very friendly and unlike in other parts of the world, are flattered by even a minimal effort to learn greetings and common phrases however good or bad the pronunciation.聽


Good luck!
