Easy vocabulary for kids

Whilst my work with nursery schoolers sometimes feels quite slow in terms of their learning - mostly due to some of them not speaking and such, my private lessons are going well and I'm seeing improvement in all my students.

Thanks for all the info. Are you in Madrid? I'll be there next month and would love to meet some nice people!

Hello! I'm moving to Madrid next month and was just wondering what I should bring. I'm planning to only bring one luggage so I've got limited space. I was thinking I shouldn't bring too much clothes and just buy some when I get there, but do you think this is wise? I think I'm fairly averaged sized and shouldn't have too much of a problem buying clothes there, but are they too expensive? 

I'm already living in Spain and with unemployment so high here, I've decided to retrain as an English teacher so that my career will allow me to spend time playing with my baby daughter! I've already got some experience as a teacher and through teaching my daughter about the world, I'm inspired to teach other people about the English life and language from an English speaking point of view.
