Feedback
“Personally, I think this is a big concept and it is very interactive. I am a
bit disappointed by myself because I did
not take part as much as I wanted”
“The best part for me was sharing our experiences abroad
and learning with Isa the Spanish
culture”

Feedback
What did you enjoy most?
Speaking and writing in Spanish since I work
teaching English and I found hard to practice
my Spanish here as much.
Why did you join this project?
Because I want to practice my Spanish and
keep in touch with my classmates.
