Question

Hi, Fred!
It's been a while since we have been in touch. How has your semester been?
I wanted to send you an email update to you let you know how things have
been going during my semester abroad here in Málaga, Spain. I've already
been here for six weeks, and I feel like I am finally adapting to the culture. I'm
also speaking the language more fluently.
I arrived during the first week of September. The weather has been very nice.
Even though it's October, it's still rather sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the
beach and swam in the Mediterranean Sea earlier today.
I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom,
but we eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. On Sundays, we eat a big
home-cooked paella for lunch. In Spain, lunch is usually the biggest meal of the
day. It's also very common for the people to take a midday nap right after a big
meal. I am actually just waking up from my nap right now!
On weekdays, I take classes at the local university. There, I met several native
Spanish speakers. They have been very kind and patient with me. At first, I
struggled to comprehend their Spanish, but now I understand most of our
conversations. They have commented that my Spanish has improved a lot
since we first met. Now, I am more confident to use the language in other
places like stores and restaurants.
I am so glad that I decided to spend the semester here in Spain. We have an
extended weekend coming up, so a group of my friends and I are going to
travel to France for four days. It's so easy and inexpensive to travel
internationally in Europe. I love it!
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Like I said, don't hesitate to stay in
touch more often. Perhaps you could even come to visit! What do you think?
Best wishes,
Patrick
