Which exams are you doing first? I'm ActiveEccentric. I also did IAL Edexcel in psychology too along with 2 other subjects. For me past papers aren't enough on their own - I also looked at the psychology videos etc. to develop a psychological intuition. Memorising answers isn't going to get too far.

What presents are you hoping for?

Muy buena suerte con todo esto Iría! He visto en tu perfil que estás en Galicia pero tu perro tiene un nombre catalán, jaja qué gracia! En qué parte de Galicia te encuentras? Porque yo también soy gallego. Y cuál fue el regalo que más te gustó del día de reyes?

jajaja muchas gracias!!!
sii, mi perro tiene un nombre catalán porque viví en mallorca 3 años (yo nací en madrid pero viví en mallorca y galicia jaja)
yo vivo en pontevedra ciudad jaja!
tu??
y el regalo que más me gustó tiene que ser el jersey que me regalaron mis primos jaja
y a ti?

Hostias, has vivido por todas partes! Ay, todos dicen que Pontevedra es una maravilla y que ha ganado premios por sus zonas peatonales y plan urbano, pero nunca he estado y me encantaría ir :frown:. Ahora mismo no vivo en España pero tengo mis raíces en un pueblo pequeño que se llama Cariño. Ah, qué guay! A nada porque estuvimos en Costa Rica durante reyes y eso ya nos costó un pastón así que nada de regalos, más bien hora de ahorrar 😂

holaaaaa, me gusta la conversación de España aqui @sneaky-oppressor y @Plantagenet Crown !! estudio español por mi bachillerato y soy estudiante de Year 13! quizas, deberíamos crear un grupo de chat en TSR (añadir varios usarios en private message) donde hablamos sobre todo relacionado con España y su cultura :smile:! avísame :biggrin:
