America, Canada, Japan and many other countries could have been a choice of Suzan to make her exchange studies, but she chose Estonia. Suzan is an exchange student from the Netherlands. The nature of Estonia attracted her, but moreover, the courses and the possibilities for studies were the major aspects of her choice.

Peamine põhjus, miks otsustasin Erasmus+ raames Hispaaniasse õppima minna oli soov parandada hispaania keele oskust, kuid lisaks sellele ka soov lähemalt tundma õppida hispaanlaste kombeid ja kultuuri. Veel ahvatles Erasmus+ võimalusega tutvuda paljude uute ja erinevate inimestega kogu maailmast.

Basic knowledge on topics you’ll need to know about

Going out

Last time I mentioned Estonians being the Ron Swanson’s of the block...BUT if we get a few milliliters of alcohol in our blood system, then we basically become the worst dancing Southern people on the dance floor. Going out is a part of an Erasmus life, we cannot hide it… but one thing we want to say is for you to be always responsible!

An Introduction - basic words you'll need during the first weeks 

One way to see Estonians smile during your stay here is saying them something in their own language. Estonians are modest and think that their language is too small for someone foreign to bother to learn something. If you know even some small basics like Aitäh, Tere and such can light up someone’s day. 

So here are the basics for you:
