As a French and Polynesian girl, I have always enjoyed discovering different cultures and traditions, including learning a foreign language.
Thanks to the warm welcome from the Spark team, an adventure is opening up for me. I discovered the beautiful Spain and the authenticity of its inhabitants but also a competent and motivated professional team and a perfect organization.

Me convertí en parte de su familia y admiré su naturaleza positiva en muchos aspectos. Disfruté mucho de la estancia y me recordó lo que realmente importa en la vida.

Hey,it’s me again 🙂
Today I will talk about my personal experiences with different languages, countries and cultures, especially the experiences I have made so far here in Spain. First of all this is not my first time in an other country, I already traveled much in my life and did two student exchanges, one in France last year and one a few week ago in Slowakia. There is a big difference between staying in a hotel in summer break or actually live in a spanish or french family and go to school or having work experiences.

My name is Gisele I’m 16 years old and I’m from Germany.
This is my blog and I will write about my experiences here in Spain and what I learned, especially the language. Because this is exactly what I want to clar up about: our language is something that connects the world. Language is an instrument that gives us the opportunity to communicate with people around the globe. This was the main reason for me to decide to do my work experience in Spark, language schools are the key to this connections.

Read MoreMi experiencia en España
En las dos Semanas en El Puerto de Santa María he hecho muchas cosas en Spark y con mi familia anfitriona. En Spark tenía la posibilidad de trabajar independientemente. He pintado dos cuadros. Un toro y el Castillo de San Marcos. He hablado mucho Español con la familia y por eso yo aprendí el idioma.
Read MoreFor the next 2 weeks, I will be doing a work experience at Sparks Spanish. I went to Spain to further work on my Spanish besides the 4 years of Spanish classes I got at home. To also improve on a personal level I set four goals to achieve.
Read MoreJust graduated and ready for a next adventure I started to look at jobs outside of the Netherlands. Soon enough I found Spark and as the name says the connection was there. Spark was not completely new to me since my sister also did an internship here about six years ago. It was nice to hear that besides some small changes Spark remained the nice and safe space for students to come and learn English.
I started this adventure with four goals I will achieve in the next six months working at Spark.
