I have worked for Aeromexico Coompany, and it has been a perfect oportunity to practice my english, becuase my work, consist in helping people at the airport, so I talk a lot with foreigners.
I practice a lot, because almost all the time people are in a hurry so they talk very fast and you have to understand.
I'm also studying at Cenlex, almost finishing because I'm at Advanced 4 and the highest level is Advanced 5.
