Learning English

As mentioned previously you will need to have a reasonable standard of English in order to get the most from a social work position in the UK.

If for any reason you feel that your English is not up to a good enough standard to be able to work in the UK, there are some alternatives you may wish to consider.

You can start reading magazines, newspapers and books in English. Listen to cassettes and CDs of interviews etc. It is also possible here in Spain to use the Dual system on your television and watch films and documentaries that are broadcast in both English and Spanish and switch your TV to the English Channel. Another option is to hire DVDs and watch them in English too!

Alternatively you could enroll with a language academy. Make sure that your English teacher is a native speaker as this will help improve your pronunciation and help you to understand native English speakers better too!

Finally you could enroll on an intensive course and here Eres Mejor´s associate company Academia de Formación Keyhole could assist.
