Introduction to Spanish Culture Daily Life More

Introduction to Spanish Culture Daily Life More Suzy S. The Spanish culture is one of the most beautiful and exciting in the world. Its no wonder Spain is one of the top travel destinations for tourists every year! If youve already checked out our infographic with  50 interesting facts about Spain, now its time to dive a little deeper! Whether youre planning a trip to visit this enchanting country, or youre just curious about it, heres a little introduction to Spanish culture and its customs. Let’s go Vamanos! Intro to Spanish Culture Spanish Food Dining Spain is a wonderful country for many reasons, but one of our favorite reasons is the food! In Spain there are many bars. On small streets you can find two, sometimes three bars all right next to each other. These bars offer  more than just tasty drinks; they usually have delicious  food as well! The tradition in Spain when going out to eat is to go for tapas   small portions of food that used to be made to enhance the taste of liquor. However, the tapas later became just as important as the liquor, and today its a highly distinguished cuisine. When you go out to eat in Spain, try a variety of tapas bars and a variety of tapas. Here are some popular Spanish tapas that youll undoubtedly come across: Albóndigas: Meatballs with sauce. Allioli: Garlic and oil the classic ingredients are only garlic, oil, and salt, but a  common form of it includes mayonnaise. It is served on bread or with grilled fish, meat, or vegetables. Bacalao: Salted cod loin sliced very thinly, usually served with bread and tomatoes. Boquerones: White anchovies served in vinegar (boquerones en vinagre), or deep fried. Calamares or rabas: Rings of battered squid. Carne mechada: Slow-cooked, tender beef. Chorizo al vino: Chorizo sausage slowly cooked in wine. Chorizo a la sidra: Chorizo sausage slowly cooked in cider. Croquetas: A common sight in bar counters and homes across Spain, served as a tapa, a light lunch, or a dinner along with a salad. Empanadillas: Large or small turnovers filled with meat and vegetables. Ensaladilla rusa: Mixed boiled vegetables with tuna, olives, and mayonnaise. Gambas: Prawns sauteed in salsa negra (peppercorn sauce), al ajillo (with garlic), or pil-pil (with chopped chili peppers). Papas arrugadas or papas con mojo: Very small potatoes boiled in salt water, then drained, and slightly roasted. Theyre served with mojo, a garlic, Spanish paprika, red pepper, cumin, olive oil, wine vinegar, salt, and bread crumb thickener. Queso con anchoas: Castilla or Manchego cured cheese with anchovies on top. Solomillo al whisky: Fried pork scallops, marinated using whisky, brandy, or white wine and olive oil. As you can see, the food in the Spanish culture usually has a LOT of garlic! They also serve, and are very proud of, their jamón serrano, or rustic ham. Its very common for bars to compete and claim they have the best jamón. Religion in Spain One thing to be aware of in Spain is the importance and prominence of Roman Catholicism. Its by far the most prominent religion in the country. In fact, 68% of Spaniards identify themselves as Catholics! Thats a big statistic, and it explains why there are so many churches and beautifully decorated cathedrals in Spanish culture. Religious Celebrations in Spain If youre planning on going to Andalucia during the week leading up to Easter, check out one of the biggest festivals of the year Semana Santa. The festival is particularly celebrated in Seville and it runs for one week. This week is a big deal in Spain. Some people will spend all year planning for it! Streets are blocked off, bands will come out and play, and bars and restaurants participate by having specials. SEE ALSO: 20 Spanish Traditions and Customs Spanish Culture in Daily Life The daily life in Spain is much different than what you find in other countries. You always feel great in Spain because everything seems so relaxed. The streets are relaxed  and  the people are relaxed. The key difference in Spanish culture is that people don’t get stressed out over simple things. If youre five  or 10 minutes late for something, they simply say, “No pasa nada!” This Spanish  phrase basically translates to, “Don’t worry about it. (Of course, when it comes to business meetings and occasions where you have time limits, then this might be frowned upon by some.) Siestas in Spanish Culture Perhaps the most difficult part of getting used to Spanish culture is the daily work schedule. All throughout Spain, they have the infamous tradition of the siesta. This is an old tradition that  involves taking an afternoon nap in the middle of the day, which is usually the hottest time of the day. The siesta is a wonderful thing if you feel like taking a nap or just relaxing after lunch. The problem is that if you have things you would like to get done, you really can’t go to any stores because everything is closed! The typical work hours in Spain are from 9 AM 2 PM, and then the city shuts down. Afterward, however, things open back up again from 5 or 6 to 10 PM, or even later. This can be a very hard schedule to get used to, but if youre there (especially in the summer), youll see why this tradition is actually very necessary because of the heat! Family Dynamic in Spain This brings us to another difference about Spanish culture: people are very friendly because they  look at one another as family. In Spain its very typical to be close to your family, and this helps them in treating neighbors  just the same. Its not uncommon for  family members to live just a couple houses down the street, or even in the same house together for their entire lives. This creates a strong family dynamic and level of trust between other people you get close to as well. Nightlife in Spain The nightlife is an extremely exciting part of Spain! In Spain, its normal to stay up until midnight  or later on weekdays. However, the  weekends are  when the fun really begins. A typical Spanish evening out on the town does not start before 11 or 12 PM. People will stay out until 5 AM, or sometimes later when they go out for parties, clubs, or even just drinks! Other Social Events in Spanish Culture If youre a true Spaniard, you might go see an evening bull fight (corrida de toros), or sometimes a night of listening to live flamenco music. The tradition of bull fighting has actually subsided quite a lot in Spain, and now you can only see it in the south of Spain. Flamenco music, on the other hand, is everywhere throughout Spain. Its considered a high art form, and you can find flamenco dancers (bailes de flamenco) and shows in almost any city. In reality, though, not all Spaniards like to go out and watch flamenco all the time. Some do, but its actually a spectacle thats mostly catered toward tourists. The real Spanish thing to do is to go out for tapas and then go see a  fútbol (soccer) match. Holidays in Spain The people in Spain know how to party!   They also have a lot of holiday time off. In Spain, every saint gets their own holiday, and depending on which city youre in, or what churches are nearby, you might get a day off (usually three or more per year). Besides the religious holidays like Easter, Christmas, and Semana Santa, there are many other great occasions to celebrate in Spanish culture. One is La Feria (the fair), or if youre in other parts of Spain, they might have Carnaval. This is a time when every city in Spain has their own celebration. Nobody works and its fun for the whole week. People dress up in traditional flamenco-like dresses at La Feria, and for Carnaval, everyone dresses up in a ridiculous costume (like Halloween, except its for a whole week). Common Spanish Phrases Here are some Spanish phrases and words youll hear used a lot around Spain. They might not be in every travel dictionary you can pick up at the store! Venga: Come on/let’s go/yeah right This word is just a small exclamation, but Spaniards use it all the time. It can be used in a variety of contexts so its a good phrase to know. Yo quiero/yo no quiero:  I want/I don’t want Me gustaría:  I would like (polite) These two Spanish phrases are  helpful for when  you  need to ask for things during your travels. ¿Dónde está…?:  Where is… This is a  good phrase to know if youre in unfamiliar places and you need directions from  a local. Así:  Like this/like that/this way This is a handy little word  that  you can pair with a word like como  if you want to say “like this/that” (Como así). Por favor:  Please Gracias:  Thank you These are VERY IMPORTANT words in Spanish, especially when speaking  with people you just met! SEE ALSO: Best Apps to Learn Spanish A Note on Spanish Greetings Its good to know how to greet someone politely in Spanish culture. In English, even speaking with people you may not know, its common and acceptable to simply say “Hi” or “Hello.” However, in most romance languages its common to greet people you dont  know formally. Buenos días:  Good morning Buenas tardes:  Good afternoon Buenas noches:  Good evening Hola: Hi  (for people you know) These are just glimpses of the cultural experiences youll discover in this amazing country. There are many more customs and traditions unlike anything we have here in the U.S.! The Spanish culture is truly remarkable, and if you get the chance to go to Europe, you must visit this wonderful place. Who knows, you may never want to leave! Post Author:  Christopher S.

A Student Perspective on University of Wisconsin-Madison

A Student Perspective on University of Wisconsin-Madison Rachel earned her bachelors degree in Spanish, international studies, and global cultures in 2009 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She specializes in Spanish tutoring, English tutoring, and math tutoring, among other subjects. Below she shared her experience as a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Rachel: Although the campus is in an urban setting, it is full of gorgeous trees and landscaping. It has a mixture of older and newer buildings, a working dairy, a functional observatory, and several natural areas and gardens. It is adjacent to lake Mendota and downtown Madison. Private businesses and restaurants are right next door to campus buildings. Generally, the campus feels safe. However, it is smart to avoid certain areas at night and have a buddy to walk with at night as well (or just take a bus or taxi). There are various ways of getting around campus. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from one end of the main campus to the other. There are also city buses that run on campus, and each student receives a free bus pass. Students can use other forms of transportation such as mopeds, bicycles, or skateboards. Parking is very limited, so I would recommend leaving your car at home. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Rachel: Even though the University of Wisconsin is a very large school (about 30,000 undergraduate students), professors, advisors, and TAs are still willing to assist any student who reaches out to them for help. Some have drop-by office hours, while others are available by appointment only. I was able to receive assistance from my professors, advisers, and TAs in person and through email. Most professors seemed to especially enjoy discussing course topics and other related material with students. Attending office hours or reaching out to your teachers is also a good way to build relationships with professors or TAs who may serve as a reference or recommender for graduate school or a job. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Rachel: The campus has two sections of dorms: the lakeshore dorms tend to be quieter, while the southeast dorms are louder. There are a wide variety of room set-ups and sizes, depending on the dorm in which you live. You may live alone or with up to two other roommates. There are many dining locations across campus, including cafeterias, pizza pubs, coffee shops, and convenience stores. Dining halls are located close to students residence halls and several are even located within them. There are many types of food, and students pay for each food item individually, allowing them to choose how much and when they want to eat without feeling like they are wasting money. There are numerous opportunities in the dorms to meet and socialize with other students. Residence hall associations and houses within the dorms provide ample activities to help get students involved. I highly recommend that all freshmen and transfer students live in the dorms, as it is a great way to get acclimated to the campus and make new friends. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Rachel: The university has 13 schools and colleges which support over 200 majors. Students are able to be undeclared for quite some time while they fulfill general requirements. Students are also able to change declared majors, even if that means they must switch schools/colleges. I began as an elementary education major within the School of Education, but after determining that that was not the right path for me, I switched to Spanish, international studies, and global cultures within the College of Letters Sciences because I love traveling and experiencing and learning about other languages and cultures. As an elementary education major, I was on track to finish school in five years (this is typical for that major, but not all majors), and I was able to finish in that same amount of time even after switching majors and schools/colleges. There were many opportunities for me to attend extracurricular events and activities related to my majors, and my academic adviser was supportive. Although I learned a lot while at school, the universitys career services were not very helpful in preparing me for the working world; they did not do a good job in helping me figure out what kind of jobs I could do with my degree and how to find them. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Rachel: I made friends within my dorm and through student groups on campus. I also made some acquaintances through class. Thankfully, I was successful at making friends because I searched out opportunities to do so. One could easily get lost in the sea of students and be lonely if they did not actively try to meet other people. Greek life does play a significant role in the campus social life. UW Madison has over 50 fraternities and sororities and about 13% of the student body are members in a fraternity or sorority. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Rachel: As I mentioned previously, I was not impressed with the career center for my particular college, as they were unable to help me find any pertinent job opportunities. However, I was able to receive useful tips on building my resume and preparing for interviews. Each of the different schools and colleges have career fairs with reputable and relevant companies. There are ample opportunities for you to get your resume in the hands of employers and make a good impression on recruiters. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Rachel: The campus is chocked full of places to study. There are dozens of libraries with varying hours and types of places to study: computer labs, plushy chairs, tables, group rooms, stacks, quiet study areas, etc. The unions, dorms, and academic buildings have plenty of places to study as well. Generally, the dorm study rooms tend to be less crowded. Describe the surrounding town. Rachel: Madison is a beautiful, clean city; it has nice foliage and several lakes and parks. It is the seat of the states government with a capitol modeled after our nations capitol. The campus is located in downtown Madison, which makes it a really fun place to be. While students participate in numerous activities on campus, they often frequent the areas of the city that surround the campus too. There are all kinds of activities always going on, and students can visit escape rooms, museums, farmers markets, concert halls, restaurants, and shopping establishments. State Street is a very popular and eclectic place to be; it is full of neat shops, restaurants, etc. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Rachel: The student body is huge! Class sizes vary and depend on the type of class and subject. For example, all of my Spanish grammar courses had around 20 students in them. On the other hand, some of my survey lectures had as many has 400 students! Most large lectures have discussion sections in which students can discuss the class material in a smaller group led by a TA. This really gives students the opportunity to ask any questions they have and understand the material better. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Rachel: As a Spanish major, I was able to take other Romance languages and have a certain number of credits count toward my degree. So, I decided to take Portuguese. The TA did such a good job of teaching me the language and making it enjoyable that I decided to take more Portuguese classes even though none of the credits would count toward my degree or credit total (I did not need any more credits in order to graduate). Since, I have enjoyed speaking to others in Portuguese and using it in my jobs! Im so grateful for that TA and glad that I decided to study Portuguese! Check out Rachels tutoring profile.

Tutoring In Schools Small Group Sessions

Tutoring In Schools Small Group Sessions Even experienced tutors can struggle when starting to deliver sessions in schools. Tutoring in-school means being particularly mindful of how your sessions fit into a student’s school life and tailoring your approach accordingly. This sounds easy enough in theory, but what does it mean in practice?   This week, we’re looking at small group sessions. The schools we work with are most likely to ask our tutors to work with small groups. There’s always a balance to be struck between the number of students involved in an intervention and the progress each selected student makes. Research shows that small groups of two or three students is the best way for a school to maximise impact from tutoring. We’ve compiled a list of the five things tutors should definitely be doing when working with small groups in schools. Teaching the right group As soon as there’s more than one student in a session, the relationship between the students becomes just as important as your relationship with them. If students don’t get on or are starting the sessions with very different attitudes or attainment, it can become difficult to work productively with them. Sometimes you can work around this â€" find commonalities, use different ability levels to encourage peer learning â€" but sometimes you might be better off rearranging the group. This won’t always be possible, but often whoever is arranging the groups for you will understand the problem and work with you to find a better solution. If, for example, a group of three students has one student whose subject knowledge is a long way behind the others, the sessions might serve to weaken their confidence rather than strengthen it. Whilst tutors should try their best to find a productive approach with every group, it’s equally important to voice your concerns with school and make sure you’re always working in the way that’s most beneficial for your students â€" thinking hard about the make-up of each group is a big part of this.   Setting the room up correctly Often overlooked by inexperienced tutors, the physical set-up of the room you’re working in can make a big difference to the session itself. Where are you sitting in relation to the students? Where are they sitting in relation to each other? How can you manage these variables to get the best possible environment for learning? When new to in-school tutoring, tutors can feel as though they’re in someone else’s space. This means they won’t feel comfortable temporarily rearranging a room and might just put up with a room in the way they find it. If you’re not comfortable in the space, this will come across to your students. Arranging the workspace so that it’s tidy, purposeful and appropriate for the task at hand will show that you’re in control and make it easier for students to settle into the lessons. Using the group dynamic to your advantage This is a simple idea: if the activity you’re doing could be done either with a full class or just one student, you could probably do something better with a small group. Students get a lot from learning with their peers â€" maybe discussing, competing, quizzing each other. These are benefits you can’t get as easily from a group of thirty students or just one, so embrace them and use them to your advantage. Think about how you can tailor activities so that they require the students to collaborate. Can it be gamified to encourage healthy competition? Can they be working together to solve a problem? This will make the sessions feel novel, well-rounded and fun for students, letting them enjoy the group dynamic and get an increased benefit from sessions. Getting all students to contribute Part of designing effective group activities means understanding your group â€" particularly thinking about whether a certain approach will allow louder, more confident students to dominate. When planning for lessons or just asking questions, make sure to get responses from every member of the group equally. Students that are less confident will not speak up without encouragement and will slide all-too-comfortably into letting more outgoing students do the heavy lifting for them.   With only 2-4 students in the room, there should be no place for quieter students to hide and the habit shouldn’t be allowed to develop. Once a student is used to coasting through sessions, it can become uncomfortable to get them contributing further down the line. That said, it’s important to take different confidence levels into account and ask students to contribute in a way that they’re comfortable. The loudest, most confident student shouldn’t necessarily be used as the model for all contributions.   Maintaining school rules School rules are important everywhere in school life, but never more so than in small group sessions. Behavioural issues are far less likely to occur in one-to-one sessions and any bad behaviour in classrooms will usually be dealt with immediately by the teaching staff. Small group sessions are the place, if anywhere, where a tutor is most likely to be faced with challenging behaviour and things can bubble over into a loss of control. The best way to avoid this situation is to make sure the rules that apply elsewhere in school apply in your small group sessions from the very start. Small group sessions can be fun â€" and can feel more informal than regular lessons. Particularly with inexperienced tutors, this can result in a lax approach to school rules. It feels natural at first not to be too concerned with untucked shirts or a bit of boisterous behaviour. If your students are relaxed, happy and willing to learn, so why make a point of following up small infractions? But over a number of weeks this relaxed approach will encourage students to test the boundaries, lead to a silly, unfocused atmosphere in sessions.   It’s a delicate thing, but it’s not too hard to find a balance. Your sessions can be friendly, warm, relaxed and fun, but a gentle reminder of school rules (often even a non-verbal cue) will go a long way. If the head of the school walked into your session right now, would she be happy with what she saw? If not, you should take some time to consider how to keep an ordered and focused feel to your tutoring.   If you’re interested in tutoring in-schools, contact the foundation at foundation@tutorfair.com, check your profile for volunteering opportunities or browse our website to find out what’s on.
