I have always been a language enthusiast, especially of the languages more distant from my mother tongue (Spanish). I learned that only a year before, new degree called Modern Languages and their Literatures, which included Chinese among three other languages, (establish) at the University of Granada. I chose to study Chinese though I didn't know a word of it.
The four years were a journey of hope and (disappoint) in equal parts. I wanted to quit several times in the third year, (see) that after two years of hard study it was impossible for me to keep a simple conversation in Chinese.
Thinking of all the (invest) time, I determined to finish my degree. After that, I would look for an opportunity to go to China for further study. During my study period, the one that (real) helped me to start speaking Chinese was the Chinese Bridge, a contest which I participated with zero talent and great enthusiasm. The preparation for the contest benefited me a lot and (strength) my desire to improve. Thus, I graduated with honors and applied for a one-year scholarship to study Chinese in China. So in August of 2015 I arrived to Nanjing University, I lived and studied for nine months. A year later, I headed to Yunnan Normal University (pursue) another Master's Degree in teaching Chinese to foreigners.
When I look back to my past study life, I know it was many unknown paths that took me to the right places.
