Many thanks Mairi. Anna had a fabulous time and really improved her Spanish.
I loved staying here in Spain - it was amazing having independence and being with my friends and I loved my teacher which I think was the main thing that helped my Spanish and I would definitely come back. Thank you so much for everything, I had a great time.
It's been a really great experience. I have really enjoyed Madrid and although I'm looking forward to going home, I will definitely miss Spain.
