¡HOLA, COMUNIDAD!
When arriving in Spain, one aspect that often surprises mobility participants is the linguistic diversity of our country, something we are very proud of. Did you know that around 25% of the population in Spain speaks or understands a regional language other than Castilian (Spanish)?
With this announcement, I invite you to learn the basics of the other official Spanish languages. You can find the links below:
If you participate in a mobility programme in Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, Galicia, the Basque Country, or Navarre, I encourage you to not only focus on improving your Spanish but also to learn a few words or phrases in the local language. I can assure you that people will be delighted and appreciate your effort.
Regional languages are a vital part of our cultural heritage and play a significant role in the identity of many people. Please make sure to respect and value them.

¡HASTA LUEGO Y FELIZ APRENDIZAJE! :-)
