What made you decide to stay on for another year?
Liked the local area, liked my classes and the timetable

Comment on the role of the school in the following areas
Support regarding everyday living in Andujar: we received lots of support when we arrived in finding a flat and finding our way around. We also received lots of information about the local area (travel information / where to shop etc) and local events.
raining/helping me grow professionally: I’ve been given lots of opportunity to provide training and to experiment with new ideas, particularly with regard to the new interactive whiteboards.
We also received lots of support in module 1 of the Delta, and discussion groups were organised to pool ideas which would help us to prepare for the exam. The school also ordered the books necessary to complete module 3, which I’ve been very grateful for.

Comment on the type of social life you have had (meeting people, blending in)
Living in a small town helps with this-I really wanted to learn Spanish and outside of the big cities, people will let you practice this, rather than addressing you in English. It’s also easy to get to know the locals by interacting on an everyday basis when buying food etc.
How have you managed moneywise (food, rent, travelling and going out)?
It’s much easier to manage financially here than in England, as the rent is low and food and drink is cheap. Even in big, tourist areas the prices are not astronomical, as you might expect e.g. it only costs €11 to enter the Alhambra in Granada. One thing that is more expensive is the cost of bills- internet / telephone / electricity.

What recommendations would you give to someone coming to work at the school/live in Andujar?
Bear in mind that the winter here can be cold, and that houses are not as well insulated as in England- you may need a winter coat, as well as a pair of thick pyjamas and a decent duvet!
Shop at the market rather than at supermarkets, where possible- people are very friendly ad will chat to you, and the food there is fresher and much better value
