ADAM (from Warrington, England) | |
| between Liverpool and Manchester |
I'm Adam from the north-west of England. If you can point to Manchester
and Liverpool, then I live in a small town called Warrington which is located
in between Manchester and Liverpool. I'm 22 years old and I have just graduated
from the University of Chester where I studied Business Studies and Spanish. In
my family, there is my mum, dad and my two brothers (I am the middle brother).
I also have a dog called Tilly and we help a guide dog called Ellis. I play
American football (yes that is correct, I'm a British person who plays an
American sport in Spain - I'm multi-cultural) for the Madrid Toros and I love
to ski/snowboard.
This is my second year as an "auxiliar de conversación" in
Spain. I was previously an assistant in a high school in Alcalá de Henares. So
I have some experience of the questions that the students usually ask the
assistants. I have loved every minute of my time living in Spain, especially
with the amount of good places to eat and socialise.
My favourite things about Spain are the weather, the food and the
fantastic public transport system (especially good for travelling at the
weekend). I have visited many places in the world and Spain. I love the beach
so Málaga and the southern coast of Spain is perfect for me. I also love
Spanish paella and the Spanish omelette, not to forget the amazing taste of
Serrano ham. I love a lot of things but Spain is very special to me.
I have already enjoyed my first weeks at IES Neil Armstrong and I hope
to enjoy it even more. The students are great and have some good levels of
English.

Hello! My
name is Emily Weinstock-Collins. I am 21 years old and I have just graduated
from Wesleyan University, with majors in Mathematics, Hispanic Literatures and
Cultures, and the College of Letters (a humanities program). Two years ago I
was in Madrid for a semester abroad, so I am thrilled to be back again! I love
learning and I love teaching, and I am especially excited to be working with
the Global Classrooms program this year. Outside of school, you can usually
find me reading books, enjoying the outdoors, baking (and eating) cookies, or
playing ultimate frisbee.
 
CHRISTINE (from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)
My
name is Christine Bajzar and I am 22 years old from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I graduated from the university of Alberta this past June with a bachelor of
science in biology and psychology.
I
have been studying languages since I was 9 years old when I began learning
French, and I have had a love for learning languages ever since.
I
began studying Spanish, in addition to French, after I had the chance to visit
Spain with my school when I was 14 and I knew I wanted to return.
I
am excited to be here and to have the opportunity to help others develop their
own interests in languages through learning English.
In
my free time I enjoy spending time outside, writing, dancing or practicing my
French and Spanish.

TREVOR (from Utah, U.S.A.)
My name is Trevor
Fedderson, I'm 27 years old from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I recently
graduated from the University of Utah with degrees in Spanish, Latin American
Studies, and Comparative Literary & Cultural Studies.
When I was 19 years
old, I had the chance to live in Argentina as a volunteer, where I first began
teaching English as a second-language. Since then, I've had the opportunity to
teach children and adults alike through various volunteer organizations in Utah
and Arizona.
I love languages! Along with continuing my studies of Spanish, I'm
also learning French. In my free time, I'm usually reading a good book or doing
something outside--biking, hiking, or camping.
