[TheSpanishNotebook]

I'm thrilled to find out that I knew all of them, except for number 12. Almost seven years living in the UK and many years studying on and off a degree in English, had to pay off. Although for me English has always been a pleasure and a passion, never an obligation or a chore! I've been so fixated on the idea of finally preparing the C2 Proficiency and your videos have encouraged me, Ben. ¡Muchas gracias!
