Teacher of Spanish in Rome: possibilities of a teaching course

I'm at the end of the road! An end that is, in reality, the beginning of a long and complex adventure. I am from Mallorca and 4 years ago I took the opportunity to do an Erasmus course in Rome.

This changed my life and my perception of the world: it was the first time I had truly left my little island, without the protection or the security of my parents as well as going to another country where I had never been. Despite my admiration for Italian, it was a language that I had never studied. I'm aware this is something people do all the time, especially in the last few years in which thousands and thousands of people, almost all of them young, emigrate abroad, but are often totally confident of being away from home. Nevertheless, in these scenarios you learn a lot of things about yourself, your culture and your language.

What could go wrong! Though I am in love with Italian, it seems here in Italy that Spanish is the language of love. At the moment for work-related reasons I live in Rome now. Despite not having ever considered being a Spanish teacher, I am thankful that I took this course for expanding my horizons and my field of work, combining two passions/priorities: teaching, to which I am dedicated even though I am from the field of history and geography, and culture, my culture. Spanish is a very fascinating language (the language of Cervantes!), full of attributes, it has a character that demonstrates an exciting history. To my future students I would like to transmit this idea, I want learning a language to open a new world for them, in the same way that it opened one for me through learning Italian: I want to instill in them an appreciation of languages and a passion for learning constantly.
