Of course, we had to do some exercises, but we ³                [spoke, were speaking, had spoken]a lot and we used Spanish ⁴           [whole, a whole, all the]time. Learning grammar is usually boring, ⁵           [but, so, therefore] the way we ⁶             [used to do, did, had done] it was actually fun!

And I am already looking ¹⁰          [forward, B for, out] to another Spanish course next summer!
