Hello my friend:My name is Sarah. I am 15 and I am Englishlike you. I am from London have you beenthere?

I came to Spain in 2005 and I know how. difficult it is to leave your family, school andfriends as well as arrive in a country whereanother language is spoken and you do notknow anybody.So that you do not feel lonely and lost in thefirst few days I have had the idea of writingthis information pamphlet.I hope it helps you.

The Connection Classroom.

Your new class, the ConnectionClassroom, is a place where you,together with other boys andgirls of different nationalities,can learn Spanish with the help oftwo teachers. When you start tounderstand the language you canalso attend classes with yourgroup.

On the first day you get to know your tutor and classmates. Later you can go to classes like Physical Education or Technology and littleby little you can incorporate into other subjects. If all goes well,after six months you can go to all the classes.

School Life

Life at school is based around classes and the playground, the same asin our country.Sometimes we have talks or excursions organised by the teachers tobreak up the routine.
