I feel stronger and more confident and I’ve met some nice new friends.
I would strongly urge anybody to join a course at RALS and get something back for the better in your life and improve your confidence and self-esteem.
My experience is that through having attended the adult education classes my Italian has improved beyond my wildest expectations.
I now converse comfortably face to face and on the phone, whilst thinking in Italian.
It has taken a little while to do but it is worth it in the end.
I enjoy coming to see my friends in class and interact with them.
First day at work tomorrow!
