Spanish was limited and I was placed in Advanced English in HIgh School.

Moved back to Puerto Rico, spanish was very hard to speak. Many pauses to speak. Did not know how to write. Reading was the only thing I was able to do.

Spanish was more fluent. I still had problems with writing in spanish. Moved to College in the United Stated but my language level knowledge did not change.
