Belgium is pretty fun nowadays lots of good beer and chocolate and with the new eurostar you can get to almost anywhere in europe including london, paris, amsterdam for around 50 quid (100 dollarsish) on the train meaning you can go visit anywehere if you get bored and have time, plus nearly everyone in this kind of area in europe speaks passable english.

Don't know so much about spain though.

I'd say go to spain...Madrid is a really nice city and you'll have a lot of fun in the club district...also the educational experience will be sick no doubt...but about the losing a semester, just do a summer semester

I don't know much about belgium

Where in Belgium, Louvain?

[^_^]

Actually, yes. It's about 25 minutes from the Brussels. Yeah, the school will actually provide the trips to various cities by train, that's included in the cost. So knowing that I can travel to various cities is a plus.

But as mentioned, living with a Spanish family can surely give me another view on the Spanish language. It's nice to see how various Spanish speaking countries speak the language, and living with a family for 5 months would be an incredible experience. I'm kind of leaning towards Spain now, actually.

Universidad Pontificia Comillas

sounds catholic oriented for some reason...probably the 'pontificia' part

ELITE estas hispanohablante o solamente un estadounidense con un familia de honduras?

[^_^]

i go to Loyola University New Orleans, which is a catholic University; naturally, the programs it offers are tied in with other catholic universities.

que quieres decir, que solo soy un mae que nacio aqui en los eeuu pero con padres hondurenos? pues si es eso, claro que si :biggrin:
mis padres y mi hermana nacieron en honduras; mi hermano y yo aqui en eeuu...pero claro me da lastima que no naci en honduras :bang:

has vivido en una cultura espanola o latinoamericano?

y solamente estaba preguntando si eres 'fluent' en espanol...

haha evidentamente no soy 'fluent'  :biggrin:

[^_^]

go to belgium

i was really aiming at doing that, but losing a summer month (instead of working) can be costly for me. plus, payments are due starting in a month, and i didn't know that i would have to pay so soon.

i talked it over with my parents and they said spain would be the best option; so it looks like i'll be headed to spain in august. now i must talk to an advisor simply to make sure i'm scheduled for appropriate classes :banana:

@total

no mae nunca vivi alla pero si visite por unos ratos por alli; ojala voy a vivir en honduras por un ano para disfrutar pero no se con eso mae :dontknow:
