April 2022, I returned to the UK from living in Spain for four years. When I first arrived in Spain, I had no Spanish what so ever. Whilst out there I studied GCSE Spanish and European level B1 Spanish in order to connect with the people in my town. I found the Spanish to be warm and inviting and they were always happy to help a foreigner practice language over a Vino Tinto and Plato de Migras. Out there I discovered a passion for language learning. Speaking a new language is very much for me like breaking down a code. It’s a puzzle to be enjoyed. The more you learn the more you are able to piece together the message as a whole and uncover writing and speech presented to you.
I am confident that everyone has the potential to grasp a second language at whatever stage of their life they are in, young or old. We all learned to talk, and we can learn again.
With no previous education in languages prior to my studies in Spain I am now an undergraduate at The Open University studying Spanish with French and all my assignments so far have received nothing less than 95% scores.
To help fund my studies and build my language portfolio I'm embarking on a tutoring venture hoping to bring my love for languages to beginners in Spanish. If you would like to get started and develop even a basic level of Spanish, I would love to help you achieve your full potential.
