Goodbye and Thank You

I have recently returned to the UK, having completed my ten-month John Speak Scholarship.

I can sincerely say it was one of the most life-changing experiences I have ever had.  I have learnt so much, not just in terms of my language learning and cultural knowledge, but also about myself.  Do feel free to get in touch with me if you would like to hear about my Scholarship experience in more detail, and I encourage everyone who reads this to submit an application if they haven’t done so already. Now is the time to say thank you once again to the John Speak Committee for their generous support, and goodbye or, as they say in Pakistan…Khuda hafiz.

This is a photograph of myself with a lovely Pakistani family I befriended.
