About two years ago,my job was getting really boring. I liked the bank and enjoyed working with my colleagues,but I needed a change. I wanted to become a manager because I thought the work would be more interesting and that I would have the chance to travel to different countries.
However, I knew that it was very important for managers in my bank to write and speak excellent Spanish. I studied Spanish at school, but I stopped when I was 16, so I couldn't remember much. I decided to try and improve my Spanish quickly so that I could apply for a job as a manager.
To begin with, I studied my old Spanish textbook from school and did lots of exercises. After that, I started reading Spanish newspapers online for 30 minutes every day and looked up the meaning of any new words in my dictionary. Soon I could understand nearly everything I read. After a while, I found a website where I could practise listening and speaking. then I joined a Spanish class at a language school in my town and went to classes twice a week.In the end,after about 18 months,I could understand and speak Spanish quite well.
