This is what our students from Albacete and the UK travelers thought of their trip to Spain
Post mobility Student evaluation.docx
My best experience was when we did the carnival as it allowed me to dance, sing and blow my whistle whilst wearing a Spanish flag and a hat- decorated in the school
I have not only become more aware of the typical Spanish language but have also improved my accent as well as my vocabulary. I personally think it is very helpful and for the future I will take part in more exchanges with the most previous one being in June (they come to us).
Inspiring, entertaining, daunting (in beginning), interesting and emotional (in the end)
it definitely opened me up to the possibility of doing Spanish for A-level. Then as I would like to be a lawyer, maybe taking part in Spanish and English cases, in which knowledge of both languages is required.
Something I will never forget!
I loved going out with the Erasmus kids after we had done a day of activities. Even though we were exhausted, everyone had a great time ether going out for dinner or playing at a nearby park. Its so cool to play with people our own age who speak another language, yet we get along so well! These few times going out were the most memorable and brought everyone closer together.
My favourite experience was the carnival. I enjoyed it so much, because it was so different from the culture in England. I have never experienced such an intense, friendly and magnificent atmosphere at an event before.
A huge impact is the improvement of my languages ear. After spending just a few days there I could already feel my listening skills improve as I was involved in general conversations and watching television shows in Spanish. Now I am seriously considering doing Spanish for A-Level.
Shocking, exciting, different, enthralling, beautiful.
I now definitely wish to pursue Spanish in my school experience and the extended future. Best week of my life!
I learnt new vocab to add and how to pronounce words.I learnt about their school, festivals and geographical areas such as Toledo.Amazing, warm, fun, beautiful and unforgettable
My best experience was the lagoons. I enjoyed going out in groups on the water in boats. I also enjoyed going around Toledo for the day and learning a bit of history about the city, while also enjoying some free time. The carnival was also an invaluable experience and isn’t something you do every day, so I was lucky to participate in that. I enjoyed spending time with the family an learning about their values and what they enjoy doing.
I plan to take Spanish for GCSEs and then to A Level. I aim to use my Spanish skills and speaking in my future job when I am older. I enjoy English, history and geography also and I want to incorporate my Spanish into that someway.
My favourite activity was bowling with the Erasmus kids. It gave me a chance to learn more everyday language than I would in a classroom as well as being able to learn more about the Spanish people.
I am a single linguist so I was always going to take Spanish at GCSE and most likely A-Level. But after being in Albacete I think my mark will have taken a dramatic boost. BEST. WEEK. OF. MY. LIFE!!!!
I learnt so much about the culture when we went to the Carnival. It was so different to England. In Spain everyone is much more extroverted and friendly. I have learnt so much more about the language and can now speak more confidently in Spanish.
I think that my best experience was staying with my host family as it gave me an enormous insight into Living in a different country and gave me a chance to practice my Spanish.This has change my view of the Spanish language because I have seen how It is spoken in conversation.
I learnt about the Spanish culture and in particular how some of the stereotypical Spanish traits e.g siestas aren't true. I improved my Spanish and it was interesting comparing the Spanish school system to ours
It's made me more comfortable and confident speaking Spanish. Though we didn't learn much vocabulary by speaking Spanish for the week, it reinforced our use of endings and sentence formation so that you no longer have to think about it and everything starts coming together without much thought.
Unforgettable, inspiring, interesting, exciting, enjoyable
Definitely, it has shown me a whole new side of the language and made me appreciate it so much more – I also want to potentially do Spanish at A-level now too!
I have learnt that people can be very special for you only in one week, and it is amazing. Also, I have learnt a lot of new things about Albacete, Toledo...
I have learnt a lot of things about my own contry! And the best of all, is that I have learnt those things, next to my English friends.
My best experience was the Carnival, but I enjoyed so much all the activities. I also like when we met all together during the afternoons.
Culturally I learned something more about the catholic religion. Linguitically I learned more English vocabulary and better pronunciation. Socially I learned to have better comunication with English and Spanish people.
My best experience was when we ent to the carnival, it was a really good experience. But all the things, travels that we made in the exchange were really great and fun.
Amazing, fun, perfect… I´d repeat it again!! I will never forget it.
This activity had an impact on how I percieve the English because they talk very fast and sometimes that was a bit annoying for me, so I have to focus on practicing my speaking if I want to spend a few years in England.
That was an unic and unforgettable experience!
I learned a lot of English culture, their music, and gastronomy.When we go to England, I'd like to see new places and cities
This activity has had an impact on how I perceive our languages, because I have shared my daily life with English people, so I have learnt a lot about them. And I can say that they aren't as serious as I thought they were, they are amazing people. And I would like to go to England as soon as possible!

This week has been very important for me. I have improved my English so much and I have learnt a lot of things about English people. I've realized that nowadays, languages are very important in the world, especially English. I wouldn't mind learning another language.
My best experience was when we went to the Carnival because we had the opportunity to know all of us in a different situation for the first time.It was great!!!

I learnt a lot of cutural things and places. My best experience was the Carnival because I learnt more vocabulary. It was interesting knowing that they don't celebrate this sort of festival. This experience was so much exciting!
I have met wonderful people and a lot of culture and importance that has our city and monuments such as the Bullring, the Cathedral, the Knive museum.
My best experience I think was when We went to Toledo, because We were everybody well in groups and We discovered how each one of us was, although if there is an anecdote that made me laugh a lot, it was when We had to go George, Richard and me to the money eschange office because Richard had punds and We went halfway downtown to find the place.
When they speak English I understand everything, but sometimes I don't know how to express myself because I don't know those expressions in English.
Interesting, funny, exciting, unforgettable, unbelievable.
I learned new vocabulary and newkn about singers who are now fashionable and the Inglis guys are so funny
The last night we had dinner in the KFC then we had fun talking together
