Number 1 - Interview

Chiara Valente
24 years old
Italian (University of Milan)
Intern for Universpain during 6 months (January until July 2006)

  1. How did you know Universpain?
    Thanks to an internship offer in the homepage of my University.
  2. Why did you want to work for Universpain as an Intern?
    Because I wanted to learn Spanish, to keep in touch with the Spanish culture and to live a work experience outside of Italy.
  3. Did you visit Spain before coming here?
    I only stayed a week in Mallorca during holidays.
  4. What is your first impression about the school and the city?
    I had the impression of a really welcoming city with a young and dynamic atmosphere (full of foreign students) and about the school, during my first day, I felt like at home. The teachers were very nice and they helped me from the very first moment to integrate in the Spanish life and language.
  5. What did you expect about your stay in Spain with Universpain before coming here?
    I was a little bit frightened before coming, because I didn't know the place, the school, the people and the language but from the first seconds here I forgot this impression and I enjoyed all my stay in Salamanca (I would never go back to Italy).
  6. Could you speak Spanish the first day?
    I took course in Milan 3 years ago but I didn't remember and It was difficult the first days but with the friendly people I met in the school I improved my Spanish very quickly.
  7. You are leaving this week, what will you remember of your stay here?
    I would like to remember every single moment because my stay here has been really fantastic and unforgettable.
