Hey, I'm moving to Andalucía in Oct for nalcap. Believe it or not, even before the applications opened, I was watching your videos for advice. I was very determined to go ahaha. Thank you for these vids!!
How should I prepare for the interview? Plz give me some tips or suggest some questions which can be asked in the interview or it'll be in both English and Spanish?
loved this video!! i'm currently an aux now getting ready to go into my 2nd year. so many of your experiences i can relate to. lmao at going to mercadona is like going on a field trip bc honestly 😭 esp bc i'm living in a smaller town rn and all of the cheeses. rn now i'm hooked on quesos de cabra. but yes living in spain and the european lifestyle is truly a humbling and exciting experience! this coming year i'll be living in grananda and i am a bit worried bc i know it's gonna be more of a financial stretch but i know i can make it work. esp with private classes. also you're super pretty!!
Shalenah Ivey that’s awesome! Where are you placed?? Haha MERCADONA IS LIFE, i dream about the chocolate croissants everyday, and the queso de canta!!!! Omgggg i miss itttt. It really it! And you realize how little you honestly need to be happy lol i can’t wait to go back 😍 Granada will be incredible!! The lower pay will be a bit more difficult but I think it’s much cheaper so I’m sure you’ll figure it out, we always do don’t we 🤪 and thank you!! ❤️❤️🥰
@@NatashaIbrahim hiii, i live in a pueblo blanco in the cádiz region!! i've really enjoyed the experience of being in a smaller town but i'm super excited to experience a place like granada!! but ooh you've given me a new cheese to try, thank you hahah 😋 and yes i saw one of your other videos on financial tips for auxiliars and i'm gonna check out the online tutoring places you mentioned!! thank u!! 💚
Shalenah Ivey how beautiful! I haven’t been to Cadiz but it’s on my list! It’ll be so nice to have both experiences! It auto corrected but i meant queso de cabra 🤣 but also manchego viejo was my favorite 🤤🤤 teaching online is a greattt idea! Let me know how it goes! Also i suggest starting the application process sooner than later because it can take a while! 😁
@@NatashaIbrahim yesss!! omg when you go you have got to check out tarifa! i call it heaven on earth haha. and omg i have a half-eaten roll in my refrigerator rn!! i'm obsessed. and yes the manchego viejo/oveja vieja. it's addicting tbh. also with a little honey. 😙 and oh wow thanks for letting me know!!
Hi!! Moving to Madrid to teach English. Could you make a video more about Madrid and that experience (especially geared around money and what that was like) and even just life there. love your videos!!
Hey Maggie! That’s amazing! Yes I can definitely do that, Madrid is an incredible city, you’re going to have such a good time! I’ll try and make the video in the next week! I’m on my way to Mexico right now but I’ll fit it in 😁😁
I would love to talk with you about the application process! I am trying to apply for the fall 2021 year and it would be amazing if you could help me navigate through the process because it's so daunting tbh!! anyways much love!! -erin
Hey Erin! I’m actually setting up a calendly so you can book like with me to personally help you navigate the application process, because it definitely is confusing and takes a lot of time 😅
Hello Natasha, Thank you very much for this extensive video - I learned a lot. I do only know Spain as a tourist; Spanish was not offered during the time I went to school - instead, I suffered from Latin (mandatory) and learned French and Italian. Spaniards are very friendly people but as I hardly understood anything, the country wasn´t that interesting for me. Spain isn´t quite a neighbour of Austria and (at least back then), Spanish was not taught everywhere and a few years later on, when I studied chemistry, I lacked the mental ressources to learn different skills. Besides, I neither knew that I wanted to leave my country at that time nor where I wanted to go and which language I needed. I only know Benidorm as a major hub for mass tourism with lots of medium-sized skyscrapers along the coast. Spain is the ideal location to learn Spanish in a very secure environment before even thinking of places like Colombia, especially when you are located in Central Europe. Both Spain and Austria are EU-members and it´s near enough to visit short-term. I don´t think there is a chance to get a job if you don´t speak Spanish. In Europe, studying is not a financial threat like in the US. Fees are marginal. After graduating, I was exhausted and did some different work. I was just recently accepted at technical college (for a second master in Biotech), when Co*** hit just before important group assignings could take place. I´m also stuck at home and have become something like a „rogue senior student“. I tend to write (too) much, as this is my way of processing issues. I will need a good preparation for not ending up in Ciudad Bolivar or as an ELN-hostage With kind regards, Mathias
Hey Mathias, Spain is incredible, but I can see how it would be a different experience if you don’t know the language. Latin sounds like a drag to learn but very impressive that you learned all those languages and German and English! Spain is a lot more secure than parts of Latin American, and very close to Austria! I think you may be able to get a job in Barcelona without knowing Spanish but it would be a bit more difficult. Also your studies are Very impressive, I didn’t know you studied all of that. I think you’ll be fine if you go to Colombia! Have a great day, Natasha
I’m planning on doing the auxiliar program in 2 years. But I’m a suuuuper big introvert and I would prefer to live in Madrid and have no roommates, but I know this is going to be expensive. If I did have roommates, I would prefer them not to expect me to hang out with them that often and leave me to stay in my room/explore around by myself, haha 😅
That's awesome! You could possibly live alone in Madrid, it will just be more expensive and harder to find an apartment, I suggest you start finding a second source of income now, possibly a way you could earn money online or something so you can afford the rent. I'm sure if you let people know you are an introvert they would respect that! One of my roommates was an introvert and I barely ever saw her but we got along fine! I'm making a video on finding an apartment in Spain today so it'll be up next week! If you subscribe and hit the bell you'll be notified when I post it! I'll be touching on these topics in it

Hey girl! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us :) I am applying for fall 2021 and wanted your advice on the different regions and what you recommend!
Hii Valerie! of course, thank you for watching!! that's amazing! it depends on what kind of city you like! I personally like the lifestyle of Madrid, Barcelona and the South (Anda Lucia)
My dear mam,pls can you do a video on the language and culture intake of 2022 🙏.I would really love to learn and know and work to reach it ..I would be a great help for me.I am from India
Hey! Great video!! I am considering applying for this program for the fall and I wondering if you know if the visa you get allows you to have a second job (not related to teaching)?
Hey Nicole, thank you so much! I think you are allowed to get a second job for about 15-20 more hours! You can tutor English or do other things like that on the side too! I have a lot of other videos on teaching in Spain that you might find helpful, I’m not sure if you only saw this one 🥰❤️❤️
Amazing! I was looking for a job for 6 months before I found one, but honestly I didn’t know what I was doing and was going about it in the wrong way. When I figured out how to get a job properly it happened quickly! I was 22 when I did the program, but most people doing it were older than me! 24 is a great age. Also there are a lot of ways to make money online and build your career remotely and you have the time and space to do so with the aux program so I recommend you do that. I have a course that teaches you exactly how to you can find the details on www.girlbossabroad.org
@@NatashaIbrahim Sorry to bother you with so many questions but I am just so nervous about making this decision. How would you say the safety is in Spain, as someone who is not from there ? Is there any advice that you would give to staying safe?
I’m looking to apply for this program in the next year so I was wondering if I should try and learn as much Spanish as possible before then or do you think it would be easy to stay there only knowing English?
I think you should try to learn Spanish! It will really help you while there and also make things easier socially. Also Spanish is a really useful language to know! I would start with duolingo!
@@NatashaIbrahim I’ve always wanted to learn anyway because you get more job opportunities as well so I think I will. Did you ever have or know anyone who had problems with getting paid late?
@@NatashaIbrahim sorry if you mentioned that in the video I was watching on break and didn’t get to finish yet but I’ll be done with my associates next February do you know when the best time to apply would be?
Great video... I am a Dental Hygienist from the states...looking to work abroad....possibly Spain. Can you recommend any agencies that help with job placement process? From what i have read there are a lot of scammers that claim job placement.
Thank you! that's awesome, you should do it! I have a few videos about how you can find a teaching job abroad - here is the link ruclips.net/video/vww4vraooi0/видео.html But I'm not too familiar with finding other jobs. A good way to do that could be to find an American company that is international!
Thanks for all your videos. Planning on applying for the auxiliar program in Madrid for 2021-2022. Do you think if I come with a few grand in savings and make money outside of the program I could live comfortably in a 1 bedroom around €500-€600? I know Madrid pays €1000 a month.
You’re welcome! That’s awesome, Madrid is my favorite! I think that should be fine! But be mindful Madrid is more expensive than Benidorm. I paid €600/month for a two bedroom with a roommate in malasaña which is a bit more expensive than other areas but I would say expect to pay a bit more than €500-€600 for a one bedroom. I would HIGHLY suggest getting a roommate though, I almost got a one bedroom and I’m sooo glad I didn’t. There are a lot of hidden costs with moving and unexpected fees you’ll have to pay so be prepared for that. Unless you can earn an extra few hundred more euros a month i wouldn’t live alone
Natasha Ibrahim Thanks so much for your quick response. I’ll definitely look into to getting a roommate, just interested to see the possibilities of having my own place. Would somewhere in zone 2 or 3 be more reasonable for a 1 bedroom?
@@ayjee8 of course! Yes you should look into it, I know how you feel, I lived alone throughout college and wanted my own place in Spain but it was difficult to find one. I think zone 2 or 3 will be more feasible but if it's your first time living in Madrid I suggest living in the center. I'm actually making a video about finding an apartment in Spain today so it should be up in a few days and give you a lot more information
Natasha Ibrahim Damn you’re killing it with these videos! Thanks so much I’ll def be on the lookout for the apartment video. I honestly don’t mind living in zone 2 or 3 if getting to the center isn’t too difficult. I lived in a similar range before in London.
A haha I’m trying! You’re welcome! Yess zone 2-3 isn’t bad! I think you would be fine there but I would really suggest to not pay more than 1/4 your paycheck on rent!
You are not reading this by chance, you are deeply loved by God, He wants to bring you peace and healing, He doesn’t want you to perish but to have eternal life, through believing in His son Jesus Christ that He sent to die for your sins on the cross and to repent❤️❤️
aaah I got confused because conversaspain also has “auxiliar de conversacion as their name “ so the one did was this one ? www.educacionyfp.gob.es/eeuu/convocatorias-programas/convocatorias-eeuu/auxiliares-conversacion-eeuu.html? Thanks!
How come you didn’t have to spend money on student loans? This is the biggest expense I’m afraid will set me back. (I’m still in school currently) Also, did you have a gym membership? If so, how much was it?
My student loan payments didn't start until January of the following year! I also graduated with not much debt and low monthly payments so I just didn't pay my loans until July, when I returned to the US. I also think that if you talk to your loan distributor you might be able to defer payments for a year since technically you are volunteering and on "scholarship". ALSO my student loan payments are currently deferred because of Covid, so you might not even have to pay them! I did go to a gym! I completely forgot to mention that. I got a deal that came out to about 20 euros a month and my gym was amazing with great classes! When I lived in Madrid I also paid ~20euros for my membership. I hope this helped! and if you haven't subscribed I would LOVE if you did! I'm going to be making more videos about budgeting soon, and also will be filming a video about finding an apartment in Spain tomorrow!
Natasha Ibrahim okay, great!! I want remain active if I do choose to go through with the program. Exercising helps with my mental healthy immensely! & Yes, I will have to talk to my loan distributor. I don’t owe as much as others either, but it’s enough to be worried. Thank you for responding and giving so much awesome info! You’re videos about Spain, are really making my decision a lot easier. ALSO, just a little extra, I’m moving to Austin in January!
@@Thisisrenae It's so important to stay active and keep that routine when you're in Spain because it really does affect your mental health, I know it did mine! I have a lot of videos on that too, and I have some one how to stay in shape and healthy while abroad too! Yes it's a good idea to call them, they will usually work with you! I completely understand. While you're still in the US and in college I suggest finding alternative ways to earn some income online that you can keep doing while abroad, and start saving as soon as you can! even if it's just $50 a month, it adds up! Of course! I love making these videos, and being a resource
Would your 2 roommates work the same job as you? Is there a way to apply for housing with other coworkers that way you know more people who are doing the same thing as you?
This is my dream!!!! I’m finally ignoring everyone who tells me not to do it and TRUSTING MY GUT!! 💘💘💘💘 ahhhhhhhhhh
Ahhh I’m so excited for you! If it feels right, it is. Trust yourself and all you know ❤️
Do it! I just got my placemet today :)

aaah I got confused because conversaspain also has “auxiliar de conversacion as their name “ so the one did was this one ? www.educacionyfp.gob.es/eeuu/convocatorias-programas/convocatorias-eeuu/auxiliares-conversacion-eeuu.html? Thanks!
do you need to be a uni student or have studied in uni to be able to be an auxiliar?
Hello! yes I believe you do ❤️
How come you didn’t have to spend money on student loans? This is the biggest expense I’m afraid will set me back. (I’m still in school currently) Also, did you have a gym membership? If so, how much was it?
My student loan payments didn't start until January of the following year! I also graduated with not much debt and low monthly payments so I just didn't pay my loans until July, when I returned to the US. I also think that if you talk to your loan distributor you might be able to defer payments for a year since technically you are volunteering and on "scholarship". ALSO my student loan payments are currently deferred because of Covid, so you might not even have to pay them!
I did go to a gym! I completely forgot to mention that. I got a deal that came out to about 20 euros a month and my gym was amazing with great classes! When I lived in Madrid I also paid ~20euros for my membership.
I hope this helped! and if you haven't subscribed I would LOVE if you did! I'm going to be making more videos about budgeting soon, and also will be filming a video about finding an apartment in Spain tomorrow!
Natasha Ibrahim okay, great!! I want remain active if I do choose to go through with the program. Exercising helps with my mental healthy immensely! & Yes, I will have to talk to my loan distributor. I don’t owe as much as others either, but it’s enough to be worried. Thank you for responding and giving so much awesome info! You’re videos about Spain, are really making my decision a lot easier. ALSO, just a little extra, I’m moving to Austin in January!
@@NatashaIbrahim What do you do now?
@@Thisisrenae It's so important to stay active and keep that routine when you're in Spain because it really does affect your mental health, I know it did mine! I have a lot of videos on that too, and I have some one how to stay in shape and healthy while abroad too! Yes it's a good idea to call them, they will usually work with you! I completely understand. While you're still in the US and in college I suggest finding alternative ways to earn some income online that you can keep doing while abroad, and start saving as soon as you can! even if it's just $50 a month, it adds up! Of course! I love making these videos, and being a resource
@@JJ-vp3bd I'm living in Austin, Texas now and I work full time! my recent vlogs show what I'm up to also! :)
How long were you living in Spain for?
I studied abroad and lived there for 7 months and when I taught English I was there for a year 💕
Would your 2 roommates work the same job as you? Is there a way to apply for housing with other coworkers that way you know more people who are doing the same thing as you?
Yes they did but at different schools! You can join the auxiliar Facebook groups to find roommates who are also auxiliars 😁
Can’t find the video that talks about how you found your flat in Spain is it up? 🤍
Hiii🤍 yes it should be there! Search how to find an apartment in Spain in my videos 😊
