The intermediate Spanish course officially starts next week. It is much more intense than the last beginners course I did, so I thought I’d get a head start and start it this week.
The course lasts for 9 months, unlike a year with the beginners, and there are 4 assignments due in total, with exams at the end of it. There are two weekly evening tutorials and one separate tutorial a month at a local college. I have no idea how this will fit into work, if I do end up finding a job but in the meantime this will definitely keep me busy whilst I job hunt!
So after a whole year of studying beginners Spanish I finally found out today that I passed!! Yay!! The intermediate course, which I have now signed up for, starts next February and is for 9 months! I just hope I can cope with the harder stuff
For the past year I have been studying beginners Spanish with the Open University. A whole year of mind boggling online tutorials every week and 6 whole assessments later it is all over! Not to mention the speaking and writing end of course assessment that I just completed! I have no idea when the results will be out but I have pleasure in knowing I have at least passed (as told by my tutor).
I can’t believe a whole year of studying has literally flown by. My vague memory of French from secondary school has completely gone! It has been replaced with little tiny bits of Spanish that I now know. The worst thing was when I was in Tunisia and I kept saying si instead of oui (as they speak French there!!)
Now that it’s over, I don’t really feel as if I know a lot of the language. I could definitely not hold a conversation in Spanish unless it was practiced or revised beforehand. That is bad seeing as I have been studying the subject for a whole year. I really do want to hold a proper conversation in Spanish so I am definitely contemplating studying the intermediate level of Spanish with the Open University. The course is only for 9 months and there are fewer assessments. Definitely ticking all the right boxes so far!!
p.s those are the 6 books I had to complete on this course!!
I NEVER thought this would happen. Pretty boy is leaving Manchester United to go to Real Madrid for a whopping £80 million!! Tis a sad day, very sad day!! Now I won’t be able to perve watch him play anymore All you Manchester United haters can keep on hating, their still on top And now that he will officially be a Spaniard..I shall continue on my quest to learn Spanish

That’s all I can sorta remember right now. I seem to have forgotten most of it. Maybe if I had some hot Spaniard teaching me then I would totally pay full attention to him learning!!
Finally I am going to Barcelona on Friday!!! I am so excited, I can’t wait to party loads and just chill out for a bit! I look forward to mega lie ins and total drunkenness!!
I have been there before but this time I will spend all my time in Barcelona and not another part of Spain like last year.
The only plans I have got are partying loads and watching FC Barcelona play against R. Valladolid!
A trip to Dunkin’ Donuts is also needed like last time
What’s also different is that the clubs open at 2-3am!! And they close around 7am!! Bring it on!! This song is pretty cool!!
