"I had not been able to find a job in over a year due to the bad economy here in Spain. I had just graduated from school, with no experience and nobody wanted to give me a chance. So I decided to learn English to make myself stand apart from my other classmates. I spent 1 year with [my English teacher]. He was great, since he speaks Spanish, and when we started I spoke almost no English. Now look at me, I speak English at an advances level, just got my CPE certificate, and just started a new job. Thank you all so much!" Irais E.
