Hello to all out there! I am writing to share our recent experience of
being a host family for a German girl here in Canada. Due to a tight
working schedule starting right after university I never had the time
or chance to go abroad and experience different cultures through a stay
abroad. But I always wanted to get in touch with other cultures and
learn about them. So I decided to bring the cultural experience to me
and my family.
Until last week a German girl who took an English course Canada stayed with us. It was a great adventure and a big success for both sides. Her English was already pretty good as she already took a two-week Sprachkurs Hawai ” last year and we had no problems at all to communicate with her. While she of course was able to further deepen her language skills and to experience the Canadian culture in a Canadian family we also learned a lot about her culture and Europe as a whole. She cooked typical German meals for us and even taught us a little German! In fact her and my daughter (who are almost the same age) became really good friends so my daughter decided to continue the cultural exchange and visit her in Germany next year! There they will explore Germany and after that they are planning on doing a tour through Great Britain together. Can anyone give me advice on how to travel best through the Great Britain? Does anyone have any experience with the British rail passes? I think this is a great chance for my daughter and I was able to see from our guest how much one can gain through such a stay abroad. All in all this was a great opportunity for us to widen our horizons and I would recommend this to anyone who is open-minded and wants to get in touch with other cultures. |
