This is a video where English Language Assistants share their experiences of living abroad. I´ve founded it useful as they talk about the advantages of living abroad and they show us some words and expressions worth knowing.
Where is the best place to do a language assistanship?
- Somewhere beyond (más allá), completely out of your comfort zone:
- Obviously I´m slightly biased: obviamente mi opinión está ligeramente sesgada.
- Trick question: a question which is difficult to answer, because there is a hidden difficulty or because the answer that seems obvious is not the correct one.
What´s the reason of your recommendation?
How would you describe your experience?
- Challenging: que representa un reto.
- Thrilling: emocionante (a thriller!).
- Gratifiying: gratificante.
- Nerve-racking: a situation or experience makes you feel very tense and worried.
- Enlightening: esclarecedor, instructivo.
- A life-changing experience.
What personal and professional skills did you gain?
- I was hugely lacking of confidence: tenía una carencia enorme de confianza.
- to encourage students: motivar a los estudiantes.
When we see students come back from the end of it, they really are different people: brighter, ,more engage, more culturally aware, more confident.
