β¨ Our Year 10 Spanish linguists had wrapped up an unforgettable 5-day language excursion in #Salamanca. Immersed in culture and history, they stayed with host families, perfected their Spanish, explored markets, enjoyed tapas, learned flamenco, and rocked Spanish karaoke! This intensive experience not only boosted their language skills but also deepened their understanding of Spanish culture. So proud of their dedication! π#LolaLanguages #spanish #fearnothing #LinguisticGrowth
An unforgettable final day in Salamanca! Started with churros con chocolate, followed by enriching lessons. Afternoon was spent exploring the cathedral, rewarded with a breathtaking view after climbing 200 stairs. Ended the day with paella and Catalan cream.
