Back to School

By now, we are all getting back to the normal pace of life. Kids are back in school, we all have extra time to dedicate to our favorite activity: learning the culture and language!

I am not sure it is your favorite topic or not, but it is very important for anyone living in Spain.

I would like to encourage you to set some goals for this year:

My husband and I have talked and set some goals for us:

1) getting to know our new city (Alcalá de Henares) and its history.

2) Reading and learning about the book Don Quijote (we started it once, but never finished it)

3) Know more about Cervantes, as he was born and lived in our new city, Alcalá de Henares.

This is an example, depending where you are (stage of life, language level or geography), set some reachable goals. We all have learned about S.M.A.R.T. goals (specific, measurable, agreed upon or attainable, realistic and time-specific)

I hope you can come up with really rewarding goals that will take you a step forward in this process.
