A trip to the UK

In two weeks' time I will be flying to Heathrow and I'm a bit worried. I've never been abroad before and this will be the first time I leave have left my country.Why am I leave leaving? [present continuous for future plans: "I'm leaving. Why am I leaving?"] Well , I studied engineering here in Spain and it seems imposible to get a decent job without an advanced English level, so the main purpose of my stay in the UK is to pick up English and become fluent.

I'm going to stay in Hastings, I've been searching for some information on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful city. I don't have accomodation yet so I hope to find a hostel or something similar for the first few days. I've signed up at a languages academy I've read good reviews about. The timetable is hard, I'll be having classes with people from all over the world five hours a day but I would like to focus on talking to local people. That's the best way to learn and assimilate a language.

Well done! Enjoy your stay, I'm sure you'll have a great time and meet lots of new people while improving your English.
