HorariosDaily Schedules In many Spanish speaking countries students don’t have the same schedule every day like we have here in the Estados Unidos (EEUU) Some classes don’t meet every day, they may only meet three days a week simply because students take a larger number of classes. Many Spanish speaking countries follow Spain’s style of schooling.
Siestas In some countries, especially in Spain, it is very common for students to go home during their lunch for a break from school and they have enough time to sit down and have a large meal with their family, sobremesa (a good long chat), and a nap!(2-4)
