GERMAN AND ENGLISH

 One of the biggest challenges during my stay has been the German language. I do not speak any German, and at the beginning it seemed extremely difficult. The pronunciation sounds very different from Spanish, and sometimes the words are incredibly long. However, what surprised me the most is that almost everyone in Germany speaks very good English. Because of that, I have not had serious problems communicating. My host family speaks English fluently, so we can have normal conversations at home without misunderstandings. Even if I have not learned much German yet, this experience has shown me how important English is for international communication today.

 Living with a German host family has been one of the most interesting parts of my Erasmus experience. At the beginning, everything felt new: different schedules, different meals, and even different ways of organizing the day. Little by little, I started adapting to their routine. We usually had dinner together, and that became an important moment to talk about the day and share experiences. I also had to get used to being more independent and responsible. Simple things like taking the train alone or following house rules helped me grow. Being part of another family’s daily life taught me flexibility, respect, and how to feel comfortable in a completely new environment.

 Sports have also been an important part of my experience in Bavaria. Football is everywhere, and FC Bayern Munich is by far the most popular team. You can see people wearing Bayern shirts in the streets, shops, and even on public transport. At the same time, my host family were big handball fans, and during my stay the European Championship took place. We watched several matches of the German national team together on television, which was a fun way to share time at home. Even though I am not a huge sports expert, watching these games helped me understand how important sports are in German culture and how they bring families and people together.
