Good afternoon. Today we have asked five people to give us a short interview and share their opinions about studying a foreign language abroad. Now we would like to present their opinions to you.
I learn Italian as a foreign language and last summer I went to Italy as an exchange student. I stayed with the host family, not in a student’s hostel and that was a great mistake! The people I stayed with were an elderly couple without children. They wanted me to spend all my free time with them and kept asking lots of questions. They didn’t want to accept the fact that I
needed time to do my homework and to be on my own. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay with a host family.
I spent last summer abroad as an exchange student in Germany. It was a great experience. I think I returned home an absolutely different person. I learned so much! I was staying with a host family and my hosts never treated me as a child but as a responsible person and I had to become responsible. I got used to coming home on time and not later than I have promised. I think I’ve become more independent and confident in myself and the choices I make.
When I was getting ready for my trip abroad, the most important question for my parents was where I would stay. I wanted to choose a student’s hostel but my parents were against it and I went to a host family. It was the right choice. My hosts were a lovely couple with two kids. Signora Clara cooked fantastic pastas and pizzas! I have never tasted anything like it! And I loved her desserts, too! She used to say that it’s important to taste the country whose language you’re learning.
I thought I could speak Spanish pretty well before I went to Spain as a student. In the classroom everything was more or less fine but I couldn’t understand people on the streets. They were speaking very fast and pronounced words indistinctly, so I had to ask the same question several times before I was able to catch the answer. The locals also used words that they only use in that particular region. I haven’t seen them in my textbook.
It was my parents’ idea to send me to France for the language course. I’d never left home for so long and I thought I would feel homesick and lonely but it was nothing like that. There was actually no time. From morning to 2 p.m. we had classes and then we went on excursions or trips or had other activities. Every other day we had contests or concerts and in the evenings, there was time for partying and having fun. It was great and I never felt bored!
