Personal comments
This experience allowed me to acquire a very good level in Spanish and English because my classes were a Postgraduate in International Marketing on both languages so that I am at ease in a professional situation with both languages. Moreover it brought me maturity and allowed me to build better my future professional project. I have now a more critical point of view of Marketing Strategies and developped my creativity in a certain way during the course.
