Anyone here from Torrevieja Spain?

Question

Need some help finding a college in the town of torrevieja, im english left school at 16 and moved to spain with family, scince then ive been working crap jobs, im now 22 and would like to start a course at college, dont know what i want to study, but feel i need to do something. my spanish is ok (limited and basic) but any help with this would be great thanks, im looking for a public college although i know it will be really hard to study the course in spanish. dont know where to start....help

by the way i live in a very english area of spain and work with english people thats why my spanish is only "basic" . i do communicate with my boyfriend only in spanish which is good and shows the level of understanding i have but i dont feel its good enougth for employees where fluency is essential with fierce competition. I am not idle, i work extremely hard but things arent always as easy as they seem from the outside!!

Answer 1

Start by getting a grip, six years study and you are only basic, you are idle, no wonder you have had crap jobs. learning is fun ,you are in the place to learn real spanish as it is spoken, use the advantage.
you could be in England learning to speak book spanish ,working to put yourself through uni, doing a crap job.
my advice would be get a job were you deal with the public,on a daily basis, see how fast your language skills will improve, speaking and writing in the preffered language of your employer is an advantage ,especially since english is your mother tongue. this to can be a distinct advantage ,especially in the tourist industry, the commerce, or international companies that operate in your area, think about what you have already got to offer, stress the importance of continuing any educational courses you have started, sell yourself, if you cannot who can, good luck ,and do get off your butt. regards LF
