I am teaching English to adults in Spain, can you help me to understand the behaviour of a student of mine?
Today the final straw, he was making sexual allusions to everything I said and kept on doing the clown for the whole lesson and trying to draw attention on himself and make me laugh, is that a sign he likes me or is he only being a narcisist?

My dear, it's a sign of both. He's an immature womanizer who's starved for attention.
2 :
Ask him to write down his "allusions" in English and keep them in a journal so you can ask your husband to react to them for you since you are very uncomfortable with them. If you're not married, make up an older male professor who is "willing" to do that. Or ask him to read them out loud to the class so he can have their undivided attention. Do not laugh, smile, or react to his sexual comments. Praise him when he does NOT make sexual references. And above all, discourage the class regarding their laughter and amusement. Finally, ask him (in front of the class) to cease making such comments and if he doesn't, ask him to leave the class permanently.

Could be either or neither. I'd tell him to look for another teacher.
4 :
He contains a child-like Consciousness. He isn't a Man, but a Grown Male.

Can you get a student visa while travelling in Spain or do you have to get it in the US?
I do not know if they will process my visa in time for my trip. I have heard that you might be able to extend a trip by going to the local police station. Is this true? Do you know where I can get info on this? THANK YOU!!!

No. You cannot get a Student Visa for Spain while traveling on a tourist visa, or no visa......You have to apply FROM the nearest Spainish embassy in the US...indicating where you will study, and demonstrating a letter of acceptance from the University in Spain.

Good question.. I suspect the department that issued you the visa would tell you if you have to have a return ticket. I guess, since they are not a communist country that you can stay as long as you have money! But purchasing a round trip (look into an open ended ticket) will be cheaper -- check with a travel agent for the 411 on this kind of ticket.

Etiquette for visiting a house in Spain?
Etiquette for visiting a house in Spain?
I am from Sweden, now I am in Spain (student) and I am going to visit a Spanish home. I haven't done this before. What's the etiquette? What gift should I bring? If the invitation is on 8 going there at 8.30 is good time? Should I offer to remove my shoes?

Be on time always if you can, although the spanish never are!! If you have been invited to eat, take a bottle of something, flowers for the lady of the house or some chocolates. As for removing your shoes, that is not on the list of priorities.
2 :
I agree with the other answerer, be on time, if they have invited you for dinner take a bottle of wine, and yes you could take flowers or something for the lady of the house. No don't offer to take your shoes off. Be prepared to eat alot, Spanish mothers like to feed people up, i remember first time i met my mother in law, she must of thought i was under nourished the amout of food she tried to make me eat. Most of all, enjoy yourself.
3 :
Be on time,first of all (The topic that Spanish never are on time isn´t true.There´re unpunctual people everywhere). Do not offer to remove your shoes.We don´t do it in Spain. Wear something nice,sccording to the people you are visiting.If they are very formal,a suit.If they aren´t very formal,jeans or trousers and a shirt (a shirt always looks ellegant,even if it´s informal) As a present,bring a nice bottle of wine.We Spanish always appreciate a good bottle,and it´s always a nice well received present.And if you wish,a box of chocolates or some flowers for the lady of the house.She´ll be happy as well. Have a nice visit! :)

If you have a US passport, according to these days regulations, you will not need a visa as long as you are staying less than 3 months, after three months you will need one. It is best to contact the Spanish Embassy closer to you for updates on the subject. You want to get reliable info on this. I studied in the best summer program available in Spain, in order to prepare for the semester. School is rather challenging in Spain, and more so if your level in Spanish is not that high. Once you get used to the lifestyle, and the people, rules, manners, etc... and above all the Spanish language, through a shorter stay program, you are ready to dive into the Spanish official school system, which is one of the hardest... If you wanted to spend a short term in Spain, I recommend www.beautifulspain.com Have fun and study lots of Spanish before you arrive in Spain as not many speak English there, which is great in order to learn lots more!

If you stay for longer period than three months, you definitely need a student visa because countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and France realy stress that you have one.
