Hi everybody!

Today we had our last day at school. We started as always at 9:00 am and in the first lesson we learned about wishes and regrets and where do you it and in which forms. That lesson was over really fast and we went to the break. In the second lesson we got a new teacher because our other teacher Gale was sick that day. In this lesson we had multiple texts with multiple headlines und cover pictures which we had to match correctly. The time went by really quick like the other one before and leo and I went down to get our certificate. He got his certificate for the C1 level and I for B2 and I dont really understand it because we where in the same course. However I am still lucky that I got it.

Then right after school Leo, Martin and I decided to go to the city center to watch the Giro d’Italia but there was nothing because there were still in the preparation. So we split up, Leo and Martin went to the city court and I went through the street looking for some nice shops and I founds one. The shop is called „Forbidden Planet“ and is full with comic and cartoon stuff. I spend like an hour in there and looked at all the stuff they had. Now I can call a parody book of the brony fandom, a card game and a BMO plushie mine. Tomorrow I will go there again because I am going to meet a guy here from Belfast to watch some cartoons togehter and have a little chat.

 

Hi there people!

Today was not a spectacular day. I went to school this morning and was there at 9:00 am but the class started at 9:20 am because there were so many people too late. In the first lesson however we learned a bit about stressed sentences and linked word and that was pretty intresting but still nothing really new to me. A bit later we got a new classmate, his name was Fernando. He is from spain and got in my group. Together we did some group tasks, I was directed to Fernando and Nacho and the teacher wrote a sentence on the board and the guys had to explain it without using any words from the sentence. I got almost everything right but sometimes it was just a word that was missing. In the second class we talked about jobs and CVs, how do you right one and what do you put in it. The lesson was over really quick and we went home.

Tim and I decided to took a „little“ nap for like 3 hours and then we went to the city center to buy some clothes and stuff like that. I have some problems regarding my credit card because I forgot the unlock the pin before I got here so now I can’t use it, exept I send it back to germany so one of my roomates could do that for me. So now I had to search for a ATM that accepts my girocard and we had to test like 4 different banks until i found one where I could get some money. Now I have some money and finally I can spend it on exploring the city. Tomorrow I will met again with Jane to watch the Giro d’Italia and to do some activities. I am glady looking forward to that!

 

Hello There!

Today we had our first school day. After getting up and eat some breakfast we got on our way to the international house, the place where we have our language classes. At the house we met the some people from the other classes from our school and we met some new people. It started with a introduction presentation and get to know the others. After that Leo and I got seperated from the other because we were the better speaker. The class itself were quite boring because there was nothing really new but it was fun talking to the guys from spain.

At 1:00 pm we were free to go but just until  2:00 pm where we had to go back for a social activity. Jane were introduced to us and she told us a bit about the nightlife of Belfast and where we could go for a drink. She took us made some pictures with us and the we went for a little walk in Belfast. It was quite intresting and Jane is a super nice person but we had to cut the trip of because we had a termin at 3:00 pm regarding our work placements.

Later that evening Leo and I went to this pub Jane invited us to go, the „Dirty Onion“. We met Jane and the the guys from spain again. Leo bought me a Guinness and I got into a nice conversation with one of the spains regarding our internship here and how the apprenticeship system works in germany. In the middle of the talk we were interrupted by that guy who teaches „Bodhrán“. He asked us if we are intrested in learning how to play that instrument, what is a drum like instrument, and we glady accepted his offer. After one our of playing I noticed that I have no feel for rythms or that kind of stuff, but it was still fun to play and to try it out. We decided to get home after that because it was already late and we have to get up early in the morning.

After all it was a fun day and I am looking foward to all the things we will see and learn.
