I'VE GOT 9 IN SPANISH!
My Spanish teacher said that I was about 1 of 3 in my year who did, so I'm extremely happy. I've chosen to do the IB at my school this September, with Spanish at higher level.
Thank you very much for all your fantastic help, and I'd really appreciate it if we could continue our sessions this year.
