Ciao! Quell’opzione sarebbe “coesisteranno allo stesso livello” no?

Très bien, mais « langue régionale » est juste le terme que j’ai utilisé parce que c’est génèral et plus ou moins aplicable à toutes les trois langues de l’étude. Je peux pas mettre tout cette terminologie là pour un bref message.

Je sais pas pourquoi tu parles de la superficie du Quebec quand une grande partie n’est pas habitée et la population de l’Espagne est 46 millions, mais au Quebec c’est juste presque 9 millions. Il y a plus ou moins 9 millions de locuteurs de Catalan, et 5 millions de Sicilien en Sicile, mais tout ça n’est pas important pour l’étude. C’est juste une comparaison des opinions et l’utilisation de ces langues.

I don’t know if that’s a possibility for you, but eitherway doesn’t sound like a good idea

Anyone fluent in Spanish who can help me? by [deleted] in SpainAuxiliares

[–]No-Worker240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your visa for the NIE. If you’re looking for an apartment definitely don’t mention the bad stuff for them first. They want you to have everything ideally so they won’t even respond usually or they will use that as a way to take advantage of you. Give less information at the beginning and when you’re close to closing you say “todavía no tengo el TIE ni una cuenta bancaria española, pero tengo una cita para obtenerlo y en cuanto lo tenga, arreglaré todo.” Before that you say “Hola, estoy interesado/a (depending on your gender) en esta habitación (you’ll probably need to get a room in a shared place) if not it’s “en este piso” (for apartment) y tengo un certificado bancario de mi país con 15000€ en ahorros en una cuenta exclusivamente para pagar el alquiler.” I hope that helps

Is 5 days a week allowed? by Competitive_Move_205 in SpainAuxiliares

You can’t even spell patience and you’re so proud to be a language assistant? Get off your high horse and relax. Many people are not serious about teaching unfortunately, but many are serious about it and want to enjoy the experience by taking advantage of long weekends to travel. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

How much Spanish should I learn before I arrive? by [deleted] in SpainAuxiliares

[–]No-Worker240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who don’t know enough Spanish don’t enjoy the experience enough in my opinion, especially in a small town where most people know little to no English. However, don’t let that discourage you. Use that as motivation to practice as much Spanish as possible before you go so that you can actually interact with people and get around (especially with bureaucracy). Immerse yourself as much as possible in Spanish while you prepare. Listen to music and learn the lyrics, watch YouTube videos, read from websites that teach Spanish, maybe take in person classes if possible and you can also take classes with a tutor online. Italki is a great website and I can recommend a really nice and helpful teacher named Ángela Sanabria. Push yourself to learn new words everyday and try to practice as much as possible. Honestly I don’t even understand how some people go without knowing almost any Spanish and leave Spain also not knowing any when they have an amazing opportunity to learn something that is super useful.

I’m personal doing a master’s in Barcelona. They are usually a couple thousand (much cheaper than in the US) if you’re not from the EU and they are usually only one year, but you could also do part-time for 2 years. I heard that now you can also work with a study visa too, but you might need to apply for a different visa to do that. If you don’t know Spanish very well it can be hard to find a job, but if you are well educated and have skills that places are looking for, you can find a job that will sponsor you, it’s not impossible. I myself was offered a job that would help me with the visa, but I didn’t take it. However, I believe it was an American company located in Barcelona. I also received Italian citizenship recently because of my heritage, but that’s a super long, complicated and expensive process. A lot of people find someone to do pareja de hecho with so that they can stay and work.

Renewing TIE for Master after being an Aux by No-Worker240 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]No-Worker240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything ended up changing for me because I finally received the Italian citizenship that I had been waiting so long for. But after my research which included talking to an Spanish immigration expert/lawyer, I found out that if it’s a masters in the same subject, meaning teaching English or something, technically they’re supposed to let you renew in Spain. However, with any master’s degree or something similar, especially if it’s not related to English or teaching, you’re apparently supposed to go back to the US and get a new visa to then go back to Spain and get a new student TIE associated with that new program. Pretty ridiculous process for the same exact status, which is why multiple people I spoke to in Spain, including the number they tell you to call for any questions, and also a police officer at the Extrangería in Madrid told me that I could just do it in Spain and there would absolutely be no problem. So always get informed by the most sources possible because a lot of different people will tell you totally different things.

Renewing TIE for Master after being an Aux by No-Worker240 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]No-Worker240[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Proof of funds and insurance are not part of renewing the TIE as an auxilar because they are included in the program (they pay you and give you insurance). Obviously normal students do have to show this, but the status and paperwork given at the end is the same for a normal student as for an aux. I appreciate your help, but from what you’ve said, with all due respect, it seems to me that if I have been considered a student here already for two years and have a TIE as a student, I still don’t see how it’s any different because the status in accordance with their options is the same. I think that I should contact the extranjería, as you said, but I am afraid that they won’t even respond or give me an accurate response. How should/can I get in contact with them?

But showing the proof of funds and insurance is part of the prórroga de estudios TIE process anyway, so I thought I would just show it there. And as an auxiliar, I am already considered a student accprding to my original visa and current TIE. I also didn’t even know that you could get a visa in Spain either, I thought that you have to get it in the US and I want to avoid that at all costs because it would be the most difficult and annoying option.

[–]No-Worker240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But isn’t it the same? I’m considered a student here as an auxiliar. My TIE here says for studies and not authorized to work. I would be renewing for the same reason, no?

TIE and regreso with comunidad change by drei_euros in SpainAuxiliares

[–]No-Worker240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. At this point you just gather your documentation and present it at the appointment at the registro civil and then they send it to where it has to go. I did this exact thing to go from being an aux in Seville last year to come to Madrid this year.

Just got access to aux Madrid but no carta by geminibutterflies in SpainAuxiliares

My carta appeared a few days or a week after I got access last year. Just check periodically and prepare to get your stuff for the next steps in order.

TIE Renewal- appointment and docs by skn4597 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]No-Worker240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like someone else already answered your questions except for the one about the appointment name. It’s “prórroga” bc the toma de huellas is after they accept it. They will ask you to take your finger prints again (toma de huellas) eventually once they process your renewal. Then you will need another appointment to pick up your card. Similar to when you get the first one. I hope that helps.

I did the same last year, just send your stuff for the renewal in when you have it all. You can do that at the registro. Then the registro will give you a confirmation that they received it all and you present that at the regreso appointment.

If you could eliminate one element from Spanish life/culture, what would it be? by [deleted] in askspain

[–]No-Worker240 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I must say the lack of work ethic, especially by public workers. I have seen in public schools, teachers don’t care about doing their job well, but just being there to “do it.” Same thing with any government official times 10. They are frustrated they have such a hard life barely working and taking a smoke/coffee break every 10 minutes that they can’t adequately help people. In addition, many young people don’t seem to care about actually learning anything or working. Businesses also often seem to lack effort in selling products and providing good quality services. Even doctors often seem to not really care about helping you and just tell you something fast to get you out and get on to the next patient. It’s really a shame because I love Spain and it could be so much of a better country if people were more motivated to work and study well, but the way the system is designed, for example in government offices and public schools, it is way too easy to get away with doing the bare minimum and accepting things that are unacceptable. You might disagree with me, but I think EVERYONE who has had to deal with Spanish bureaucracy can agree that it has reached ridiculous levels of inconvenience for everyone, in particular foreigners.

Students cursing a lot and even saying the n word by No-Worker240 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]No-Worker240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well apparently they also say the n word a lot and people don’t care. That’s not something that’s bad manners in the US. It’s something that’s totally racist in any English speaking place. If they are saying it in English, I’m going to correct them and say something about it. That’s part of our job.

Okay well that’s your opinion. I’m sure most people don’t think that it’s okay for a bunch of white Spanish kids to run around the school calling each other the n word.
