Language classes in Walki z Kalectwem association

The teachers with their hardworking students.
Yesterday was our last day we had language classes for our very ambitious senior students. During a couple of weeks some of us have taught them French, Spanish, Swedish and Russian. For us “teachers” it has been a lot of fun and it’s hard not to feel a bit of proud that someone wants to learn your language. Our students have been hardworking and some of them have even on their own initiative studied at home.

Most of our students didn't speak English, but for the most of the time that wasn't any problem. During our lessons they spoke about their life and we learnt to know them.  The fact that they didn't speak English forced us to try to speak Polish, so it was also a great way to improve our Polish.

To thank them we decided that our last lessons with them would be a bit special. Therefore we prepared some nice food from our countries like some Swedish herring sandwiches, Spanish ham, and French cherry cake. We also organised a karaoke where we sang famous songs from our countries. Before saying good bye we also organised a small competition where the goal was to find a word for every single letter in the alphabet, our students performed well but apparently our Polish is improving because we won.

One thing is sure, we will miss giving language classes and we’re happy that we got the chance to share a bit of our languages to the Poles.
