I remember that the language classes were our favorite lessons, my friends and I, because we had a variety of activities in those classes, such as playing Kahoot, doing contests, and having conversations where we were divided into two groups. We had contests discussing different topics, and it was one of the best experiences of our school years. It was really both productive and enjoyable.
