In Barcelona pieces of history are more than just monuments that are preserved and taken care of so as to allow mere tourists to marvel at its glory, something that enrollees in the Barcelona Study Abroad program would easily realize. As a matter of fact, some of those centuries-old projects are being used and are even still in the process of completion. One complete structure that is still in good use as it intended to be is the Palau de la Musica Catalana. The Palau is a music hall designed in a modernist Catalan style by architect Lluis Domenech I Montaner. Originally built for use by the choral society Orfeo Catala, the theater is still in use to hold music performances up to the present time such as symphonic and chamber music as well as jazz and Canco or Catalan song. Any student who is on a break or a rest day have the possibility of catching a performance in the famed hall as a means to recharge one’s batteries in a piece of history that has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

How to Learn a Language


2011
04.02

For years, I tried to learn languages fast. Mostly, I just wanted to be a better rounded person, but I also thought it would come in handy to have a second language under my belt, not only to put on a resume, but also in case I ever traveled to a foreign country. But all of the programs that I tried when it came to learning a new language were hard to stick with and I usually ended up giving up on them within a couple of weeks. But finally, I have found a program that really works and I want to tell you about it. First of all, I found the program a few months ago when I found out that I was going to be traveling to France. I had wanted to learn French and I was looking online when I found the website http://www.fastlearningskills.com/Learn_Languages_Fast.html. I was so happy when I found it, and now I have learned a lot of French!

Taking classes with distance education is extremely convenient for anyone that has a busy schedule and cannot manage taking classes in person everyday. Although it’s convenient to take classes online, people can fall back because they are distracted by being able to sleep in, watch television, or do other things on their computer. To help you stay on track when you are taking distance education, you should first set up a small office inside of your home. Having a chair and a desk can keep you on track, because sitting on a bed or couch can make you want to lay down and simply fall asleep. Keep a schedule on your computer and on a physical calendar that says what you need to get done and when. There are many programs online that will alert you of due dates so you never fall behind. Take this seriously because it’s just as important as education in person!
