Whatsapp is the best. EVERYBODY in Spain has whatsapp. You get to chat like a local with locals for free. You get to chat with pals at home/wherever in the world they are for free. You can have group chats with up to 50 people so if you love your coursemates like I do then you can have them just one text away. I have no idea why but at the minute I've run out of data but Whatsapp STILL WORKS. If you're going on a year abroad just get Whatsapp.
- WORDREFERENCE
Lifesaver for languages students even if they're not on a year abroad. So good.
- SKYSCANNER
Skyscanner gives a list of all of the flights and flight combinations you can take to whatever destination you want and then lists them by price. Vital.
Keep in touch with the world even when you're somewhere daft like Spain. Why wouldn't you have Twitter in this age?
- FACETIME/SKYPE ETC
Anything like that is so good. I don't use Skype myself because FaceTime is all I need. I had a chat on FaceTime audio yesterday for an hour and it felt like a normal phonecall and it's so good.
- XE CURRENCY CONVERTER
Useful for when you take €100 out of the bank to remember that it's not actually pretend money and you are spending your English (or whatever) money.
- GOOGLE DOCS
Cracking for when you forget to e-mail yourself your work. Also you can edit it and it shows what you've changed which is perfect for going through a translation, like this.
- BLOGLOVIN
To catch up on amazing posts on year abroad blogs like this one.
Until next time
Hasta luego.
