Thoughts on what love sounds like in different languages

My experience of learning languages and communication

In this short article I share my experiences of the fist two weeks in my ESC project in the Czech Republik.

Une émission drôle et ludique qui vous permet de mieux comprendre la langue et la culture allemande (et française) cela existe et ça s’appelle Karambolage. // A funny and entertaining program that allows you to better understand the German (and French) language and culture that exists and it is called Karambolage.

Most of us readers and writers are currently at a voluntary placement, internship or exchange in a different country. How can we best navigate through new social situations?

Here I'd like to talk about my motivation to become a volunteer in Europe.

Small victories in learning a language from nothing, and remembering to celebrate these small successes rather than focusing on the frustration of not being able to verbally communicate fluently.

When talking to other volunteers, it quickly becomes clear that many young people share same passion and interest in mastering a language of the hosting country. Since I am one of them, I consider learning a new language an integral part of my learning progress during the next year. In this article, I would like to share my personal insights into learning and some techniques, which help me to succeed in this process.

There's so much to do to go on EVS, right? So many things you need to take care of and worry about, right? Finding the project, application, interview, documents, travelling to and within the new city, communication problems (if you don't speak the language of the country), meeting different kinds of people inside and outside your organisation. A lot of stress and uncertainty, right? I don't know what happened in my case, but everything went so smooth, everybody so far was so nice to me. Maybe it's not just my case. Maybe it's just easy to do EVS. What do you think?
