Lara Mullen said:Hi, hi
Tonight the flights were booked for Spain, actually.
Leave Belfast 21st Sept at 6.15 in the morning. We leave London for Spain at 10am. I will go to Madrid for a 3 day course on 28th and my placemetn starts on October 3rd.
I am not prepared at all. I have so much to do and my schools have not been of much help, I keep asking when my first day will be and about my timetable. It is important that I know this before I leave and this week will have to put my Spanish to the test and start phoning them.
Lara Mullen said:My dutch has been coming along nicely lately, Marty. It's much improved than it was when I saw you in A'dam. One day I will come to Utrecht and dazzle you. I have decided I will master it as my 4th language some day.
Thanks for the postcard, btw. I think I did send you a text about it though.
I think I have to get up around 4am to make it to the airport.
The only difficult thing is I will be with someone who speaks English and I could also be living with a girl in my class (we are teaching at schools beside each other) so it could be easy to fall into the trap of not practising my Spanish. I will really have to make an effort to get out by myself and try speaking it each day.

I am sure it will all be okay though. I can do intercambios - where you speak English for half of the time, Spanish for the other - as a way or improving my spanish (and meeting new folk)
It sounds lovely, Dandy. I'd love to live in a house that smells of fresh bread.
