Durante las tres semanas de período de prácticas he aprendido muchísimo.
Para mejorar mi español, estuve con una familia española muy buena. Ellos no podían hablar mucho inglés y debido a ésto, tuve la posibilidad de hablar y prácticar mi español todo el tiempo. Además las classes con Marina fueron otro punto a favor para mejorar mi español ; por ejemplo, aprendí el diferente uso de los verbos ser y estar, los tiempos verbales y a pronuciar la letra „r“ (excepto la palabra „Tururú“):).
During my two months working as Spark Secretary, I will challenge myself to become braver and more confident and will act in a way that will make me proud of myself when I return home. These are my personal “whys” which I will use to motivate and encourage myself throughout my time here.
This personal motivation will fuel my work and allow me to accomplish my professional objectives with passion and excitement, looking after students, keeping Spark clean and happy, and ensuring that all school trips here go smoothly.
I will take every opportunity to learn more about how to do my job well and will take initiative where I can.
I will find inspiration from my past successes and aim to improve on them in future, while accepting that I will make mistakes and that this isn’t a problem if I learn from them and don’t make excuses for myself.
I will be more confident every day.
At the end of my eight weeks here I want to be thought of as someone who was helpful and approachable, as a confident employee, as someone who could be relied on and took his responsibilities seriously, and a hard worker. In order to do that, I will push myself out of my comfort zone, take every opportunity I can, constantly ask myself what I can learn today to make me better at my job, work hard even when tired, and look after myself in my free time so that I can focus on my job when working.

After being here in El Puerto de Santa Maria”, for three weeks of language course and an work internship, I will be happy about the fact, that I had been to Spain and about the all i had gained from the experience, both linguistically and practically in term work skills.
I will set myself goals I want to achieve, while being here. For instance I want and will get more independent (e.g. from my parents, who are not able no to help me here, if there is a difficult situation etc.) . This is really important to me. Moreover I am going to learn to organize things on my own, like small trips etc. . So I will get prepared for my future way of life.
Another significant point I mention is that, I will improve my language skills in spanish, through the daily Spanish language courses and my time spent with spanish family.
These are two very important points to me as I am committed to achieveing them to help prepare me for the future post school.
During the internship, I will work hard on my Interior Design tasks I am going to. I will focus my energy on the creative side but also be responsible with finishing things on time and being tidy. I am committed to learning work skills and that will help my in future work and in life.
More imprtant is that I will achieve a change of my own character through the points mentioned above as I really want to embrace personal profesonal self development and for this reason I will set myself real micro goals into order to achieve my macro objectives listed above.
In the following three weeks I am committed to realising my full potencial to leap forward and learn something every day.

When children learn their native language, they do not see it as a subject nor a chore, it is communication. It is the means to interact with their peers and parents and their mechanism to let the world know: who they are, how they feel and what they want. It is an integral part of their identity. However when most British children learn a second language, their relationship with that new language is often similar to that which most children have to mathematics. It is a subject to study and often a chore to learn. The new language is frequently only experienced as a collection of phrases to memorise and rarely are children able to see the new language as what in the long run it should be which is the way of interacting with people from a different country.
