Extremely Helpful to Me and to All My Colleagues

IMPRESSIONS

         Many people believe that the easiest way to learn a new language is to learn the words, I think the best is to practice, for example talking to other people who don’t know your native language. The week when all students involved in the Comenius project came in Romania was extremely helpful to me and to all my colleagues.

         On the trips we made, the foreign students were highly impressed by the landscape of our country and the history they discovered in each place. The day when the presentation of the plays took place held us together and the poster contest were a chance for us to communicate and get to know each other better, we could laugh and make jokes together. During the contest there weren’t any tensions and although we were rivals everyone was able to understand the others and we had fun together. That evening we went to the party where all students felt great, although I am sure they were tired, I think they would have danced all night long, if they had been given the chance.

         In our group there were teenagers from different ethnic backgrounds and different religions but this wasn’t an impediment for us to make friends. This experience was useful for me both spiritually and educationally. I learned that no matter what country we come from, we are all the same, we have the same dreams, we have fun and can talk about common topics. I improved my communication skills but I also learned not to be shy in public. I believe would repeat this experience anytime I would have the chance. I hope our guests were as excited as we were, and when they get the chance to return to Romania, they will meet us again and they will be impressed by other wonderful things we’ll do together.

Extrem de utila atat pentru mine cat si pentru colegii mei

Multi oameni sunt de parere ca cea mai usoara modalitate de a invata o limba straina este invatand cuvintele, dupa parerea mea cel mai bine este practic, nu teoretic, de exemplu vorbind cu persoane care nu iti cunosc limba natala. Saptamana in care toti elevii implicati in proiect au venit in Romania a fost extrem de utila atat pentru mine cat si pentru colegii mei.

In excursile facute, elevii straini au fost foarte impresionati de peisajele tarii noastre si de informatile istorice pe care le-au descoperit in fiecare loc vizitat. Ziua in care au avut loc prezentarile pieselor de teatru ne-a unit, iar concursul de postere a fost o sansa pentru noi sa comunicam si sa ne cunoastem mai bine, am putut rade si glumi impreuna. In timpul concursurilor nu au existat tensiuni intre noi cu toate ca eram rivali, toata lumea s-a inteles cu ceilalti si ne-am distrat impreuna. Cand s-a inserat am mers la o petrecere unde toti elevi s-au simtit minunat, cu toate ca erau obositi, sunt de parere ca ar fi dansat toata noaptea daca ar fi avut ocazia.

In grupul nostru erau adolescenti de diferite etnii si religii, dar asta nu a fost un impediment pentru noi sa devenim prieteni. Aceasta experienta a fost folositoare pentru mine atat spiritual cat si educational. Am invatat ca nu conteaza din ce tara provi, toti suntem la fel, avem aceleasi vise, ne distram si avem aceleasi subiecte de discutie. Mi-am imbunatatit abilitatile de comunicare si in acelasi timp am invatat sa nu mai fiu atat de timida. As repeta aceasta experienta oricand as avea ocazia. Imi doresc ca musafirii nostri au fost la fel de entuziasti ca noi si ca se vor intoarce in Romania oricand vor avea ocazia, sa ne intalneasca din nou si sa ramana impresionati de alte momente pe care le vom petrece impreuna.
