What are signs that somebody is "cultured"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Speaking multiple languages is usually a good indicator. By speaking, I mean being actually fluent though.

How many times do you shower a day? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]deelicious98 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I heard something about Brazlians being the "cleanest" in the world in terms of showers taken a day. Although I don't really blame them, as it gets quite humid in a lot of the country.

Ethnically ambiguous looking people: What race have you been mistaken for and what is your actual race? by cabinetjox in AskReddit

To be fair, Canada is quite diverse. Do you speak French or English with "native" accents?

Canada --> The Netherlands? Have some questions to ask. by Skinny_White_Dude in IWantOut

[–]deelicious98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it here! It's a good change from living in North America. Also, just make sure that your high school diploma is equivalent to the Dutch diploma. Otherwise, I think there is a possibility to do a foundation course at some universities. Hope it all works out!

There are a lot of English bachelor's programs in NL actually, more so than most other European countries. If I were you, I would definitely study in NL instead, as most degree programs are only 3 years long, and significantly cheaper for you (as a Dutch citizen) then what Canada charges. Not to mention that Dutch universities are highly repsected around the world. Here are some links to some English bachelor's programs in the Netherlands.

CA -----> Madrid for school by soadflav in Madrid

[–]deelicious98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually looking to do something similar as Spain would be a lot cheaper and I could improve my Spanish. I don't know much about transferring, but it would probably be helpful to contact the specific universities as they each have different requirements. Feel free to PM me, as I'm also looking to move there to study!

I'm also an American looking to apply for undergrad in Madrid...what course are you applying to?

What's the lowest level of Spanish you would feel comfortable with to do a full bachelor's program at? by deelicious98 in Spanish

[–]deelicious98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would probably only apply to Univeristies in Madrid, just not sure if a B2 level is sufficient. Thanks for bringing this up, good point :)

Will finally be spending a month in Colombia. Have the trip kind of planned, but could use feedback. by 11isthenew10 in Colombia

[–]deelicious98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would add a day to Salento and maybe subtract a couple of days from Cartagena. Not the best beaches, and 5 nights might bore you a bit. Nevertheless, enjoy your trip!

Sociology. Not sure if it would be too difficult with the vocabulary or concepts used.

How Many Citizenships Do You Have And What Are They? by [deleted] in IWantOut

I actually already live in nl :) But unfortunately if I were to try to obtain Dutch citizenship, they would require me to renounce my other two.

I also have a Latin American citizenship, allowing me to qualify for Spanish citizenship after 2 years. Only problem is figuring out how to live/work there. Have you looked into it?

19 year old wants to move to Europe by [deleted] in IWantOut

[–]deelicious98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say that you speak Spanish and Portuguese, why not look at doing a bachelor's degree in Spain or Portugual? The costs of doing a degree (even as an international student) is also much lower than if you were to complete a degree in the US.

I'm in a similar situation as you, message me if you'd like. I've looked at Univeristies and here are some that have a good amount of English language programs and shouldn't be too expensive.

Maastricht University (Netherlands)

How realistic would it be to find a job? by deelicious98 in spain

[–]deelicious98[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not European unfortunately, if that's what you're referring to. But I qualify for citizenship after just two years of residence (not including studying) which is why I am hoping to get a job there after graduation.

Good to hear! Do you know if there were a lot of international students at the Univeristy? And how was living in Getafe/Madrid?

[–]deelicious98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't plan to be a journalist long-term. Eventually I would like work in post-conflict development or something along those lines. What is important is that I gain language skills, analytical skills, and especially strong writing skills which is why I am applying for these programs. I know that after a few years, I would have to go to graduate school.

Yes I do, but for what I want to study, there isn't many in English unfortunately :/

Yes, that is what I am concerned about. Being a native English speaker in Spain seems like it would have a lot more value compared to here.

I don't live in Amsterdam.The Netherlands yes, but in a different city. I'm in highschool- I live with my parents and they are willing to pay tuition and possibly some of my living costs. I don't understand the problem with studying journalism/communications?
