WELCOME TO BILINGUAL FP!

Some months ago, our students from Transport and Logistics decided to record a video promoting our school. Specifically, why being learning English is fun in the Escuela Profesional Javeriana and why being bilingual is a challenge but we are learning a lot because of it.

We are the first bilingual FP school in the BEDA programme, it has been hard work, put we are very proud of what we have accomplished because of it. 

Last year the class of 2018 of International Trade was the first bilingual promotion ever at our school. This year, the class of 2019 of Administration and Finance is going to be the first bilingual promotion of this Degree. In between 2018 and 2019 three classes will have finished their bilingual degrees and we are very proud of them for believing that they could do it and proving that it is possible!

The ERASMUS experience 2019

Our ERASMUS students are writing back telling us how their experience is going!

From Bradford, England Viviana and Paula have a lot to tell us!

Hello everyone!

Living here has been a great experience not just because is our first time living alone, it's everything, how culture changes here: things like meals or bedtime are different from Spain so Paula and I had to adapt our time to sleep or eat (also entertainment) to UK time. I'm comfortable working for the Chamber International.

The company is comfortable, the people in the office are very kind and they always have patience when we don't know how to do things, also they are very friendly and chatty, our boss Tim, always includes us in meetings, projects, training courses to improve our skills and also wants us to know how the company works in international trade. We also have our own projeect here they are trying help us with everything.

I've visited a few places since I've been here, York, Leeds, a few places in Bradford like the shopping center, pubs, the library, there are here a lot of restaurants!!, Indian and Lebanese food here is incredible.

Two days ago I went to Leeds for our training course and it's a nice place!!! 

Adrián and Lucía are going to tell us how Poland is treating them!

Hello!

The experience in Poland is being fantastic. When you finish your studies it is a good time to complete your training in another country. You can learn about other cultures and other working methodologies, and obviously you feel how your English improves little by little.

All of these are essential to be more polyvalent in the future.

Everything here is good, these four weeks have been very interesting, it was easy to adapt to the company and meet people at work because we are nine students with an Erasmus+ scholarship and all of them are kind and young people. Poznan in a fantastic city for students because there are a lot of universities and the atmosphere in the beautiful streets is very nice.

I am living in a student's residence and I have met a great amount of people there, Italian, Spanish and Chinese too, my neighbour of the next room, Hun Loo, is from there. I think that next month is going to be amazing.

Finally, Andrés, who is in Estonia is telling us about his experience:

Hello!!

My name is Andres and I'm doing my Erasmus in Tallinn, Estonia. My experience here didn't start as I expected, this country is so quiet and chill and people seem cold from my point of view, however the city centre has a lot of amazing places where you can visit them and have fun to meet new people. Their natural parks are amazing when we have good weather. The place where I've been working is one of the best places in Tallinn. The people that are working here are friendly and and don't hesitate to help when you need them to.

Sara recommends...

Hi everyone, my name is Sara and I'm studying Transport and Logistics.

I would like to recommend to attend a Language Exchange.

A language exchange is two or more people who speak different languages practicing each other's language. It is a very practical and fun method to learn languages. You will learn English while you meet people from different countries!

If I had to choose a place in Madrid to do it, it would be The James Joyce Irish Pub (C/ Alcalá, 59), they do it every Monday at 20:30. What are you waiting for?

Álvaro recommends...

¡Greetings! I´m Álvaro Fernández, Student of Transport & Logistics at Javerianas. I have been learning English since I was a kid, but I have never been abroad. I have just only watched how the US or the UK English is in the movies or videogames, or on TV. One thing I love about English is that you enjoy more variety of things and content made for English-speaking people, such as videos, movies, series...       

- I recommend at first watching series or videos with low content of vocabulary. -- Videogames are also a nice choice, since it´s something you can replay all the time without getting bored.

- Studying the irregular verbs list is also very helpful.

- When it comes to series, I recommend watching "angry kid", skits made with a clay-like animation about a redhead kid and his everyday routine. Low content of vocabulary, but very entertaining and original.

We receive Japanese visitors!!

The International Trade 1 class received Japanese visitors who are interested in investing in Spain.
The different companies created in the class received them and explained their business ideas to them in a meeting.

This is how the different groups describe their experience:

"We presented our idea, it's called Find a mess and it's an app where you can find the best night club. We didn't have difficulties doing the project but we were very nervous presenting it because we were the first group. We learned how to do a formal meeting and greeting to the clients.

We enjoyed doing the tour around Madrid for the Japanese and the advertisement video.

Nuria, Natascha, Javier López, Javier Ruiz y Renzo."

Our group learned that food really helps with communication with people from other countries and makes the environment relax, we also learned that breaking the ice and talking for a little bit before starting the presentation is a great idea. We realised that music makes young people have a good time together.

Mussic Festival: Sergio Suárez, María José Páez, Nacho López and Alex Ilea

We presented Moveat.
We think that experience was a good way to improve the communications in front of investors.
We presented our project and we could learnt about how defend our ideas.
Our company is about diferent foods healthy , traditional ...
We have important values about the ecosistem and environment.
Change your mind. 
-Moveat.


Good morning!
We are Stephany hernandez, Sandra Jordá, Álvaro Martínez and Antonio González (helped us on the presentation).

First, we put in common all the ideas that we had and it was difficult to choose one because we all had very good ideas and we wanted to put them all, but at the end we mixed the ideas and 21stuff was the result.

Then we distributed the work and helped each other to do the Power Point and the video.

In conclusion, we liked this project and doing this way because its an educational material and its more easy for us working this way. 

21 stuff is an app where you can find all kinds of things, the purpose of this app is, if you are looking for something, have a support where look many products to post the people, and if you like that, have the opportunity to buy that, to buy all types of products.

We like to work in that app because are our, we think about or app and we have managed to create it as we wanted to help each other and contributing ideas
