I  started studying Spanish after I went to Argentina on holiday last year. I ’d never been to South America before and I couldn’t speak a word of Spanish. While I was travelling around the country, I picked up enough words and phrases to get by. I was told that my pronunciation was quite good, so when I got home I decided to learn Spanish properly. A friend recommended a school and I’ve been going there for about six months. I always enjoy the lessons and the language is taught in a communicative way. I think that I’ve learned a lot since I started. It’s not all fun, though – at the moment I’m studying for my first exam!
