I arrived in Montevideo in November 2012 and came to study at Spanish Uruguay Spanish School as an ex BBC reporter seeking a language sabbatical. I arrogantly believed my Advanced level Spanish exam from the UK meant that my Spanish was of a high quality! Then Mario Torres showed me the C2 DELE Diploma exam paper and it scared the life out of me! It is a SERIOUSLY tough exam but it is the single best achievement I have ever managed (and I have done two University courses...)... Spanish Uruguay Spanish School were very supportive throughout the whole time I was in Montevideo and the mixture of impressive grammar, knowledge, video and film meant that I strove to pass that exam as best as I could. It is thanks to them that I got that diploma; I would have never succeeded on my one.
