Good morning everyone! Only a few more days until we fly back home. We wish we could stay longer in the English course abroad… After an early breakfast we went to class. The students have nearly finished their English projects and need to practice for their presentations on Friday. Their communication skills have improved enormously! Right after lunch we went back to the accommodation to put our swimsuit on. We set off by coach at 2.15 p.m. to Southbanks. We then split into two groups. The first group did sea kayaking and paddle surf while the other was waiting on…

SECOND WEEK in Malvern
Hi families! How are you? It was a fantastic weekend, we went to London on Saturday and we spent such an amazing time there. The four hours trip was absolutely worth it. That night we were so tired that we only talked about our experience in the big city for a while and went to sleep quite early. On Sunday, we had a relaxed morning, we all went to the town park and had a drink. In the afternoon, the students chose between playing football or volleyball. Later on, we watched a film and we went to bed to recover energy in order to…

Kilkenny DAY 12 – Diplomas and goodbyes
Hello families and friends! Are you missing us? We’re having so much fun in the language course abroad. As every day, we have met in the common area at 7.45 a.m. to go to the cafeteria all together. At the end of breakfast, we have brushed our teeth well. The weather has canceled our plans to take a bath and swim in the «River More», so the ATC monitors have come looking for us to do series of morning port activities. We have played «Gaelic Football», «Basketball», «Baseball» and «Tennis». Everything and the unexpected, we can affirm that it has been…
