Hi,\u00a0i\u00b4m Carla and i\u00b4m currently living in Horta, barcelona and working at Escola Regina Carmeli. After completing my TEFL course finding this job was the perfect opportunity to get my teaching and travelling experience\u00a0started and what an exciting city to begin in!<\/p>\n

\nWhen I arrived in Sepetember I didn\u00b4t really know what to expect but my nerves\u00a0soon disappeared as I was given a warm\u00a0welcome by the school and my first family. My first day at school I was thrown right in at the deep end, teaching both primary and secondary children\u00a0with varying levels\u00a0of English. Having the opportunity to teach all ages and learning levels has taught me so much about teaching in the few months that I have been here. It is real hands on experience, every day is different and the kids and teachers are fantastic!<\/p>\n

\nI get to go on a lot of school trips and this has allowed me to see\u00a0parts of the city and the surrounding areas that I may not have otherwise\u00a0ventured to.<\/p>\n

\nLiving with families who have kids at the school\u00a0is an excellent way to settle straight into Barcelona life\u00a0and is a great way to learn the language and about different cultures. I move families every six weeks,\u00a0which is possibly a little too often because once I have unpacked and settled in and got to know the family and their routines, I have to move. The positive aspect of moving is that I have been able to see\u00a0and do a huge variety of activities and I have met so many new people!<\/p>\n

\nThe language barrier was at first daunting but\u00a0I understand more and more evey day. Living and working in the country is the best way to learn a new language. The children, teachers and families help me with my Spanish and I help them with their English.<\/p>\n

\nI would recommend this experience to everyone! I am having a great year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
