Bueno, ya estamos en el avión y estoy con algunos de los alumnos. A ver qué opinan de todo, y qué quieren ver y hacer durante la visita a Mallorca.
Natalie:
"I've now met everyone and I know most people's names. I'm a wee bit worried about speaking in Spanish all the time, but the safety announcement on the plane was in Spanish and I understood bits of that. I'm looking forward to seeing Palma and visiting the schools and seeing what school life is like in Spain."
Toni
"I'm looking forward to seeing what Spanish schools are like and I want to hear the Spanish pupils speaking in English to see how we compare. I only finished packing my suitcase about 7 o'clock tonight so I've had a busy day!"
Gemma
"Ya tengo una nueva amiga. Se llama Laura. I'm looking forward to being in Spain, shopping and meeting Spanish boys!"
Laura
"Me gusta ir de compras así que quiero comprar regalos para mi familia y mis amigos."
Roslyn
"We're on the plane just now. We're just going to get something to eat and I hope it's something I like. I'm most looking forward to going shopping and meeting Spanish people."
Corrie
"Quiero encontrar a chicos españoles y me encanta ir de compras. Por eso mañana quiero ir al Corte Inglés. Hi to my mum and dad and wee brother and big sis xxx! ¡Hasta mañana!"
Cesca
"Sun. Sand. Shopping. Spanish. ¡Vamos de juerga en Mallorca! Hola a mamá, papá y a mi hermano mayor. Hola to Auntie Stella in America and to all my friends."
Kathleen
"I'm looking forward to the school visits but I'm quite nervous about the secondary school visits and the street surveys because it's something I've never done before. Hi to everyone back at home!"
Kate
"I am looking forward to my visit to Mallorca. I'm a bit nervous about talking to people in Spanish because I've only been studying it for a few months. But I'm going to try my best to understand what people say to me."
Lisa
"I hadn't packed by the time I got home from school today so it's been quite a stressful night. But we're on the plane now and everyone seems really nice. The meal we got was a bit ...meh! Hola to Señor McL. If anyone wants a goat as a present let me know because we'll be at the market in Sineu on Wednesday and I can buy one there."
Craig
"I'm looking forward to experiencing Spanish culture and the lovely Spanish food, especially calamares! I'm a bit nervous about speaking to people in Spanish but I'm going to try my best."
Claire
"This is my third year of Spanish and I'm looking forward to learning more while we're in Mallorca. I think the most interesting part of the trip will be our visits to secondary schools because it'll be interesting to see how they learn English."
Mrs Buchert
"We'd just like all our colleagues to know that we're actually working at 2am - translating a CV for one of the azafatas!"
Nicole
"It's just after 2am and we're flying over Barcelona. I'm half asleep. ¡Buenas noches a todos! xxx"
Ashley
"Hi Dad and everyone else. How are you all? We're on the plane and I'm doing my favourite thing: sleeping! I'll phone you soon! I can't wait to arrive in Palma and speak some Spanish. Ash xxx"
Hayley
"I'm looking forward to trying new food and going to the school."
Mark
"Ya son las 05h40 y acabamos de entrar en nuestras habitaciones en el hotel. Rooms really nice, lovely views. 23 estudiantes muy cansados y 4 profesores hechos polvo! ¡Buenas noches a todos!"
