Lorna - The wanderers return!



The day has arrived when I get to hear about all the adventures of my one-time students. Unfortunately I was unable travel with them and so must experience all that they have vicariously through them. The general consensus is that the trip was an overwhelming success! They all enjoyed themselves; especially meeting and working with all the young people in the youth centre. They were warmly received by all and had a real connection with the youths they were working with. They all concurred that they would recommend the trip to others and that they felt it would help them secure a job in the future.
The German however, is another story. They didn’t use everything that I taught them but a few German words passed their lips, so I cannot be too disappointed. One reason for this though, was the fact that all the young people wanted to practice their English with them and the students being as nice as they were, couldn’t refuse- well that’s what they told me anyway!
All in all, I am extremely pleased at how the trip to Berlin turned out. Everybody is happy and has gained some vital experience. What more could I ask for?
