I now speak fluent Spanish
"I was placed in Jávea, Alicante, in a 4-star hotel. I worked nine hours a day and in my leisure time I did a lot of things with my co-workers. I was a waitress – serving the guests and clearing the tables, or re-setting them. In general, we did the same work as the regular employees. The job was quite varied; for example I had to prepare the room service, prepare the menus for weddings, decorate, and speak with guests on the phone to verify orders.
I really enjoyed my time in Spain. I have achieved exactly what I hoped for – I now speak fluent Spanish and have also met lots of really good friends. I’d jump on a plane and fly back there any day!"
