Anna, her Spanish teacher, interviews Asia at the end of her 4 week CSS Valencia TY programme in Les Carolines school in Picassent, Valencia:
Asia: Yo fui a Andorra a esquiar con Laia y su familia y fue muy divertido. Fuimos a ir a las compras o a comer. Nos quedamos en un piso. Después del las clases, voy a el patio con Laia y sus amigas Raquel, Carla y Alicia. Van a ir a Dublín. Cuando el colegio finaliza, voy con Laia al gimnasio o en el centro a Valencia a ir de compras.
Las clases no han sido muy difíciles. Hice un pequeño proyecto sobre la gente famosa y personajes históricos, como Leonardo da Vinci y Ché Guevara.
Transition Year
CSS Valencia offers Transition Year Spain courses specifically for Irish secondary school students, giving them the opportunity of spending a period of time from 4 weeks up to a whole academic year fully immersed in the culture of Spain.
There are two different options to choose from: a TY Intensive Course (a 4 week course available in October 2022, January-February 2023 and April-May 2023) and our TY Secondary School Course (available throughout the school year).
Our students live with a Spanish host family, and depending on the course chosen, have Spanish classes in our language school or attend a local secondary school. They get to experience Spanish culture from the perspective of within a family and also have the huge benefit of a 24 hour environment in which they can make great progress on their language skills.
