Chapter Sixteen, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! The teacher had obviously realised that I needed the most help, so she sat next to me while everyone else started to complete the activity. “Did you understand what you have to do?” She asked me. “Um, not really” I said, feeling incredibly embarrassed, staring down at the Spanish paper. She…

Chapter Fifteen, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! She asked me the question again in Spanish, I desperately repeated the words in my head, trying to see if I recognised any words, that could hint at what she was asking me, maybe it was really simple, like what was your name moment? I hoped not, or I would be…

Chapter Fourteen, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! I came out of my class feeling fairly confident for my next lesson, but then where was it? I wondered as the courtyard once again began to feel up with other students. “Clare” I looked around, to see the women who I had embarrassed myself by not recognising what is your name,…

Chapter Thirteen, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! At first, I thought I might have gone into the wrong classroom, since at first class there was a gaggle of excitedly chatting teenagers, eighteen, nineteen, perhaps. Had they accidentally put me in with a younger group? Was the groups age based? I worried about this for a couple of split…

Chapter Twelve, Granada 2023

Chapter Eleven, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! To my relief, my tutor was very friendly and happy to help. I think she also appreciated that I knew what aspects of Spanish I wanted to focus on. She introduced herself first, and let’s call her Isabel. I did however have a little embarrassing moment when she put some sheets…

Chapter Ten, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! I walked down the stairs with my monster trailing behind me, very glad I no longer had a suitcase to pull around with me. It was very cool that my accommodation was inside the school, so all I had to do was walk down the stairs, and then I was at…

Chapter Nine, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! You know that feeling you get when you have this heavy feeling on your chest when you wake up? No? Well, it was because something was actually sitting on my chest! I swore as I shot up, almost bumping my head on the wall behind me, my monster was sitting on…

Chapter Eight, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! I decided not to go out and spend the evening unpacking and making sure I was ready for my first individual Spanish class tomorrow, that would start around 9am. I also spent a lot of my time trying to get to know Sarah, she ran her own business, which I always…

Chapter Seven, Granada 2023
Sit back and relax! Finally, we made it to our room, I wasn’t sure what I was expecting but the kitchen and living room space was essentially one room, with a small low-down sofa and a large table in the middle, but it had a lot of space which I was pleased about. There was…
