Learning Spanish products and practices are unique and it makes them stand out from other countries. I\u2019ve learned how people in Spain and South America greet each other by kissing each other on the cheek. I\u2019ve also learned many different things about the University of Granada and how different it is from my school here. They has amazing environmental surroundings and they are also les expensive than universities here. They also offer 50 cultural and vocational courses.  I can say one of my favorite things that I learned about was El Clasico, which is fierce football matches between Spain&#8217;s most famous rivals. It is one of the biggest football games in the world, and is one of the most viewed yearly sporting events. Spanish culture is and unique and it makes them different from so many other countries. By learning about their culture, it would be easier to communicate with Spanish speakers and helps you to gain important understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo-1024x613.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-505\" width=\"586\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo-768x460.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo-1536x920.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo-501x300.jpg 501w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/duncan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24316\/2021\/04\/CARIB-superJumbo.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Eemz_Rr-GzU5VS9zA1AZtI1MTbztESIg\/view\">https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Eemz_Rr-GzU5VS9zA1AZtI1MTbztESIg\/view<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning the cultures of Spanish this semester was a wonderful opportunity.
