What main languages are spoken here?:

People mostly speak Spanish here (including me). But, especially on the weekends, I'll sometimes hear Italian, French and (British) English from tourists.

What type of money is used here?:

Spain, like most of Europe/the EU, uses the euro. One euro is worth $1.15.  

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A liter of water is very cheap here. It is a little less than €0.30 if you buy it at a normal grocery store.

What was the best meal this week?:

My best meal this week was a very yummy salad I made. The grocery store is so close, I stop by most days for fresh fruits, veggies, and bread.

What music did I listen to this week?:

I didn't listen to much music this week, but I have done a lot of podcasts and audiobooks!  I listen to The Daily and another, silly podcast that my friends make most days. And I've been listening to Como agua para chocolate, or Like Water for Chocolate, a novel by Mexican writer Laura Esquivel.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

I really love catching up with the other language assistants, or auxiliares de conversación, at my school. One day we all ate together during our break, and it was so nice to just chat and have fun.
