Three weeks done and one to go! An element of sadness is tinged with a small amount of joy at the thought of next week. I’m contemplating my final week here is Gandia whilst reflecting on the past three weeks and trying to work out, in this whirlwind of an experience, what I have learnt so far. Mainly that I can recognise some of my strengths, but they are also matched with areas of weakness. My conclusion at this point is that I am on a huge learning curve with the support of kind and helpful teachers at the school who are unfailingly positive and encouraging. Regardless, every day is a happy one.
Aside from the teaching, I have established a connection between my home city and my school. Not intentionally, but through my enthusiasm about wanting to know about people, Bristol will be hosting a Spanish teacher and his family whilst my daughter will be staying with another teacher and his family here in Gandia The continued learning of English and the acquisition of Spanish for beginners are the objectives for Summer 2020. I’m hopeful that I will have a long term link with Gandia.
