Hello, my name is Mikkel. I'm from Denmark
from the
Technical University of Denmark
and I study Biotechnology.
The Merida Summer Program
consists
in a Spanish course
and a Mayan
community program.
The Spanish
classes
were
everyday
with homework and practice talks. I enjoy a lot these
classes.
The other subject was about to visit an small community
were we help the people to learn about nutrition and physical exercise
and things they didn't know before.
It was a really great experience
to get to know a completly different culture
from my country
and Mexico and Europe.
I decided to sign up to this program because
I wanted to learn Spanish
and have a
month
to get used to Mexico and the culture
before I started
the academic semester at Tec. I enjoyed a lot
this program.
When I arrived to Monterrey
I
already knew some things about the culture and
the language, my Spanish was better.
The program was fun, challenging,
there was plenty to do all the time.
It was a good preparation before I arrived to Tec.
A good way to learn the Mexican customs.
A great experience.
I enjoyed knowing a completely different culture
to know the people from the
Mayan community.
I learned that
it doesn't exist only a way
to be happy.
People from the community
were happy all the time
and they didn't have nothing, they were really poor.
This taught me
that it doesn't exist only a way to be happy.
I recommend
to all the people
that want to visit Mexico or want
to know a completly different culture
and prepared for an academic semester at Tec.
This is a good preparation
to study
at Tec. You will learn Spanish
and this will be an advantage to study at Tec.
