From September 2012 to June 2016, I studied Spanish and TESOL with a module in Mandarin at Nottingham Trent University. I loved my course and as part of it, I had to spend my third year working or studying in a Spanish speaking country. I decided to work as a Language Assistant for the British Council in a primary school in Alicante. The 10 months I spent living there were difficult at times but I look back n the year with very fond memories and I’m very tempted to return for another year.
For ease, I have decided to divide my blogs into three categories below. This is where Annalise’s Adventures began so it may look a bit amateur but I still like to read back over them as I originally wrote them.
