Being together with young Europeans

Summary of the feed-back-café
Being together with students of so many different countries all over Europe has been a very great experience for everybody who joined the Comenius project, the members as well as the pupils of the Hungarian host families.
Everybody was very open, very friendly, funny and rather nice, it was really a pleasure getting to know everyone.
We learned a lot about different languages and cultures but we also found out, which might be the more important and interesting point that in the end we are all the same. Young students with similar interests like sports and music, parties and cinema as well as shopping, surfing on the internet and meeting friends.
Understanding worked out very well, despite some little problems referring to the different accents of the different countries we all come from or some minor problems with English as English was the main language of communication. Well, as we all liked each other so much we always found a way to talk which was actually very funny sometimes when sentences were translated into three or four languages by different students.
However it offered the chance to improve our language skills and we learned much.
As most of us spoke about two or three languages before the meeting we all learned some new words during the days we spent together because of the great variety of different languages.
All things considered it was a great experience for life we all don’t want to miss and we are looking forward to having the next meeting of our big Comenius family.
