Master How To Walk The Walk And How To Talk The Talk In Lovely Spain

For young, unfettered employees, being offered a position in the company's overseas branch is both a dream come true and a nightmare. For one who is being moved to Spain, there is nothing more difficult than fitting in with the locals and doing their job well. In order to not stick out like a sore thumb and be an object of contempt, you must learn and assimilate the habits of Spain so you can catch up with the rest.

This is a toil that is worrisome to do, and I am sure there are days where you would just be tempted to pack your bags and head back home -- proving the locals right that you just can't fit into their country. Don't you dare back out of the fray and meet them head-on by enrolling in a Spanish language and habits course - pronto! Learn how to considerately greet people, understand the importance of bull fighting and flamenco, and how to pronounce popular food and streets in Spain. Try looking into local Spanish soap operas, just to get that feel for drama right down pat. Read magazines and daily tabloids to keep abreast with local celebrity gossip -- its a great conversation starter at the water coolers. Remember that recognized, age-old saying, when in Rome do as the Romans do? Well, it is a bit identical in Spain, actually.
