Torre Europa

Torre Europa
Dusk. Taken from in front of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. When I took this in 2014, I was teaching both at the Torre Europa (at KPMG) and at Real Madrid, so only a short hop between classes!

The colours in this shot are really wonderful. Beautifully captured Andy!

PS: I really enjoyed the explanation of your work you gave to Jenny! I took a Diploma in TEFL just before I left the RN hoping to use it part time while I looked for a "proper" job. In the end I didn't need it, but I can tell you it was one of the most difficult courses I've ever taken!

I agree, Keith.
There were 12 of us on this intensive course and I was the only one who went on to use it. I remember the difficulties of the course.
There were two main problems. 1) Our generation had never been taught grammar. Half the intensive training course was a crash course in fundamental English grammar. 2) Could I actually teach??? The practical tests we had to do in front of real classes was nerve racking to say the least but I realised I could do it when I reminded myself that I had been giving advice to 200 members of a company pension scheme in a power point seminar presentation and one-to-one advice clinics on staff benefits packages and explaining compicated financial services products to the public, so that they were understandable, for years so, yes, I could teach!
I now wish I had made the change at least ten years earlier!

I wasn't too worried about the teaching................I'd done some RN courses and had been the Senior Instructor at our trade school for several years.....but the grammar!! I was 45 years old when I did the course........and everyone else was in their late teens/early twenties! I had forgotten what little "proper" English grammar I knew!! I had to sit up very late most nights just to keep up!
