Andforthisreason,wehavecarriedoutthissurveyondifferentpointsofviewthatyoucanread below...

What do you think about the BIE?

Claudia Yu Andrés:: I think the BIE is a great opportunity to learn about other languages and improve your skills. There, you can practice working in groups, doing projectsthatwillhelpyouinyourfuture,meet new people, get more knowledge, and of course been able to speak more new languages which is really cool and the best partofit(inmyopinion).I’mgladthatIchose tobeintheBIEandthisisanexperiencethat Iwouldneverforget.

Rosa Martín: I think studying on the BIE is not only a good opportunity to learn languages, but also an experience that is going to be very useful in our futures, as we are learning from a very young age to organize our time and work efficiently. The thing that I consider the bestof people in the BIE isthatweareallclosetoeachotherand we give support one another when we have tofaceanewchallenge

Lucia Serrano: I personally think that BIE has many positive and negative aspects. But in general, I would recommend to everyone who is doubting about trying it, that they should do it. I have meet so many wonderful people here, and if you really like languages it’syouropportunitytoimprovethatandeven learning a new language. To conclude I will just say that you have to be a really hard workingpersonbutattheendit’sworthit

Lucía López:I think that the BIE is a great opportunity to improve our languages skills, which is, aswe allknow, very useful nowadays. Although we need to organise perfectly and sacrifice our time and plans to work in many activities, I think the effort is worth it. Besides, all the students have become friends and we help and supporteachotherwheneverweneedit,and I think this is the most wonderful thing about theBIE.

What is the best part ofthe BIE?

Ana Sánchez: Ibelievethebestpartofbeing in the BIE is getting to know lots of new people and making friend as you learn new languages. Although I admit the BIE is quite demanding, you wouldn’t have this experience in any other course. Teachers always try their best to make lessons more interesting and participative, and that is very muchappreciated

Lucia Sánchez: The best part of staying at theBIEIthinkthatistheatmosphereandthe vibe between allof thefriendsthat youmake in here. Another one could be having more opportunitiestotravelaroundandtodiscover new places and people from other countries thatifyouweren’there.:)

Marina Díaz: From my point of view, there are two things that I like the most from the BIE. The firstisthatyoucreate really special bondings and friendships with the people in your class. We spend lot of time together so we become like a family. We always help each other and give our support if we are havingatoughtime.Wealso laugh alotand spend lot of unforgettable moments. The second is that we have the opportunity of learning three different languages at the same time and that it’s something really incredible. We also make projects like the one we are doing with the German highschool this year so we are able to get in touch with people of other countries and that itisaveryinterestingexperience.

Mireya Arribas : For me, the worst part is the time it takes. We could consider as negative others apart from this, such as the effortandworkcomparedtoanormalcourse, butcomparingitwiththeadvantagesithas,it isreallyworthit

Do you think the BIE is useful? Why?

Alex Iglesias :BIEisusefulnotonlybecause ofthevarietyoflanguagesyoulearn,butalso the ability you acquire with them when it comes to expressing yourself both orally and inwriting.

Marco Turrión: Well,Ithinktherearealotof good things. First of all, the languages you learnareveryinteresting, I'm studyingfrench and Deutsch and both are great in their own way. Also, you make a lot of friends and, at the end, you make a big group with which you will be 2 whole years while sharing experiences with each other, and that is the big thing about the BIE. And this does not only apply for the classes, even when there are no classes for whatever reason, you will stillhavefunwiththem,evenonline.

What is the worst part of the BIE?

Marina Redondo: In my opinion, the worst thing about BIE is that it takes away a lot of your time. You always have some project or task to do and that can cause you a lot of stress.

Sandra Vaquero: IthinkitisthatBIEtakesa lot of time. Also, it sometimes overwhelm becauseyoucanthinkthatitistoomuchand youcannotanymore

Andrea López:In myopinion, the BIE is very usefulforthefollowingreasons:inadditionto learning English, it gives you the chance to get started inalanguagethat,quitepossibly, you would not have the opportunity to study: German. Furthermore, it gives you the chance to interact with people of other nationalities. We are currently doing an exchange with an institute in Germany and the experience is unique: you can communicate with its students in their languageandyoulearnitmoredynamically. Besidesallthis,wealsodojobsthatwillhelp us in the future at the university; we will get out of here knowing how to organize and presentajob.

In conclusion, we think that the BIE is very practical,asitoffersyouuniqueopportunities andpreparesyouforuniversitylife.
