It was his first year with Spanish.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although years ago I remember the day I met him very well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boy was holding his failed Schularbeit in his hand, about to burst into tears, almost crying, saying that his teacher had told him that he would &#8220;never learn Spanish&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Very pedagogical,&#8221; I thought to myself, and said, &#8220;We&#8217;ll see about that.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, he obviously had problems with writing and would have to work harder than others to write correctly because of his legastenia but what I told him was that in oral comprehension he was fabulous and that &#8220;fixing&#8221; the rest was easier. So began our relationship, little by little he brought more people from his class and in the end we formed a small group of teenagers who would arrive at the academy at least two hours before their class time, sit in a classroom, do their homework, play memory games in Spanish on the digital boards, eat something and water the plants, by the way. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:46% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><span class=\"flecha-sobre-imagen\"><?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><svg id=\"Capa_2\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 63.83 22.41\"><defs><style>.cls-1{fill:currentColor;}<\/style><\/defs><g id=\"Capa_1-2\"><path class=\"cls-1\" d=\"M57.16,4.6c-1.63.44-3.1.85-4.59,1.22-.53.13-1.09.23-1.63.21-.8-.03-1.35-.5-1.51-1.29-.16-.8.21-1.4.91-1.78.24-.13.51-.21.77-.29,2.81-.8,5.63-1.58,8.44-2.38,3.14-.9,4.67.31,4.18,3.51-.39,2.56-.95,5.1-1.55,7.62-.17.71-.61,1.44-1.12,1.97-.78.82-1.69.58-2.02-.52-.2-.66-.19-1.42-.1-2.11.15-1.14.44-2.25.67-3.38-.13-.11-.26-.21-.39-.32-.22.36-.38.77-.66,1.07-3.67,3.97-7.36,7.94-11.05,11.89-.53.56-1.09,1.1-1.71,1.56-1.75,1.32-3.32,1.04-4.47-.81-.46-.75-.89-1.54-1.2-2.36-1.36-3.61-2.67-7.24-4-10.87-.36-.98-.7-1.96-1.15-3.25-.55.67-.94,1.09-1.28,1.56-2.09,2.98-4.16,5.98-6.26,8.96-.79,1.13-1.6,2.25-2.48,3.31-.49.59-1.08,1.13-1.72,1.53-1.23.77-2.48.57-3.42-.54-.53-.62-.92-1.37-1.35-2.08-2.06-3.4-4.1-6.81-6.19-10.19-.48-.78-1.12-1.46-1.77-2.28-.29.47-.48.74-.63,1.03-2.14,4.24-4.27,8.48-6.4,12.72-.17.34-.32.71-.54,1.02-.53.77-1.29,1.03-2,.74-.7-.29-1.09-1.02-.94-1.92.07-.43.21-.86.4-1.25C2.76,12.28,5.1,7.65,7.44,3.02c.05-.1.11-.19.17-.28,1.42-2.23,3.31-2.48,5.21-.6.82.81,1.57,1.73,2.18,2.7,2.03,3.22,3.99,6.49,5.98,9.74.31.51.61,1.04,1.04,1.78.57-.69,1.08-1.23,1.51-1.83,2.35-3.34,4.67-6.71,7.03-10.04.7-.99,1.42-1.98,2.26-2.85,1.71-1.79,3.68-1.55,4.87.62.6,1.1,1,2.33,1.44,3.52,1.33,3.63,2.62,7.26,3.95,10.89.22.61.56,1.18.84,1.77.94-.5,12-12.04,13.25-13.84Z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elebe.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-821624_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elebe.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-821624_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.elebe.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-821624_640-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.elebe.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/people-821624_640-600x399.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>This year we said goodbye to this group.
