I just got back from language camp, and my brain is a huge jumble of English, German, and Spanish. Along with the French songs I learned.
Language camp was so much fun. I made a lot of new friends, and I had a blast. We did everything from hiking, to rock climbing, to feeding random cows. We went to a zoo specializing in German animals and I saw my favorite animal. BISON! We also saw a TON of cows and llamas just hanging out on the side of the road.
Along with all of this adventure came rigorous German lessons. The material we worked on at the beginning was stuff that I mostly knew, but by the second week we were doing grammar that I didn't even know existed.
Parts of the camp were somewhat frustration because of all the Spanish that was being spoken. Whenever we were learning German, there was also Spanish in the background. I got confused occasionally because I was learning the German word and the Spanish at the same time.
But the people I met and the connections I made are indescribably important to me.
I got back from the camp yesterday afternoon, and then immediately went grocery shopping with my host family. After that, we went to the Laternfest in the Bad Homburg. we ran into some other Inbounds, and it was like we hadn't seen each other in ages. We were all screaming and hugging, and it was so much fun. We walked around for a couple hours, and then we went our separate ways. Now I'm sitting in the front room with my host family, and helping my brother with his homework.
I feel a little inadequate though. He is working on English homework that I don't understand. It's old British English, and it's really hard. Poor kid. Luckily when I read some words in context I can help him figure out the jist of the story. Yesterday we learned new English words together. :)
Anyways, I should probably get off the internet soon.
I have pictures up on my Facebook. Don't hesitate to add me. I use it responsibly, and I won't be annoying. :)
More soon.
