I've been a bit absent since my blogging days en France, in that, I haven't blogged at all. Mainly because their hasn't been a great deal to blog about. I've have been to Bournemouth, London and France (again) for some little breaks before this adventure really kicks off.
So this is the update so far on my progress. I'll be teaching English in a Spanish/Catalan primary school in a village called Gurb. (Which I think sounds like something you say when you throw up- but that's just my opinion!) The village is on the outskirts of a town called Vic which is 80km or so outside of Barcelona. I'll be starting on October 1st and stay there through until the end of May next year.
I have been in contact with a teacher from my school- Maria, who will be my 'mentor' and colleague for when I'm at the school. She has been a great help to me and I'll be staying with her for the first week whilst I sort out accommodation, bank accounts etc as it's easier to do that kind of stuff when I'm actually there.
In terms of my 'Spanish', I'm a tad apprehensive as I have been in French mode all summer and I can't seem to switch to Spanish as proved the other day when I struggled to remember the word for 'dog' (which is 'perro' by the way).
I'm feeling slightly nervous but nonetheless excited to get my Spanish adventure under way in 3 weeks time!!
