Amelia Fernández
A fashion design student from Spain. 

"After spending a 6-month stay in Florence, I still had difficulties learning the language, so I mostly used English. This was frustrating for me when I had to deliver a presentation at work or even speak the language in my daily life. So when I found this TECH Language Course, I decided to set myself the goal of improving my language skills. Today, almost a year later, I have reached Level C1 and have obtained a CEFR certificate’’
