I work in a huge international French company. I spend most of the time traveling around Europe. When I started working there I could speak Italian and German, apart from French, of course. It is not a secret that I needed to work the current most useful language in the world. I was lucky that my company paid me some English courses in the UK. I traveled with one of my dearest colleagues, Pierre. He had been working in the Asian area of the company; he is brilliant at Chinese. But after five years, he got sick of being so faraway from home and decided to chance to the Spain area. The problem was that he couldn’t speak their language.
I thought he would be sent to study in Madrid; nonetheless he traveled with me to England. Apparently Language school UK offers are very prestigious.

We had a brilliant time while we have been in England. We became very good friends and all we had to do was studying. Other than that, we just had fun. Pierre took two different Spanish courses: a general language one, and a business course. Meanwhile, I was feeling more and more confident with my grammar; in which I had never been especially strong. I practiced a lot, even out of class. The more I learnt, the more friends I made. It wasn’t Pierre’s case as he obviously couldn’t find many people out of the school to speak Spanish. Nowadays I am still living in Britain and I can say that I don’t have any problem to make myself clear with locals. On the other hand, Pierre must be taking advantage of his Spanish tuition right now, as he has arrived at Madrid one week ago.
