Safely at my German-home
I am safe and very well. My host family is fantastic and gives me a lot of freedom. I have no negative feedback apart from the language barrier that is frunstrating. I completely understand why German students are not keen to speak lots of English, but I wish my German were better. I only know a few phrases like: Guten Morgen, Tag, Abend, Wie geht es dir? Mir get es gut, un do? Bitte, bitte shern, vetter, fantastish ect. But my vocabulary is getting bigger by the minute.😀
freazing!!!
WOW!! thanks Petra!! you are really great, I truly admire you for orginasing such a big event. thank you for giving us the oppertunity!! I love my host family, they are very nice, it is a little difficult to understand eachother, but luckily there is something like "google translate"😉 the school is very scary, It is the first time in my life that I see so many kids in one place!!! but I love it there aswell. my "host sister" and I also chat a lot and go for walks and stuff, we really like eachother. thank you once again. and enjoy the festive season. God bless. MWA😀 😀 😀 😀

I would like to thank FSA for organizing this trip for so many of the South African students. It would have not been possible without you. May you all have a wonderful Christmas Holiday.😀
Life with the Schraders
I arrived at Wuppertal Hbf, climbed off the train and my host family was eagerly waiting for my appearance already. I was warmly greated and within minutes we were at home.
I was made welcome into the family and I had a sense of comfort in the house. On the table, there were some Chrstmas sweets and biscuts layed out. It was so amazingly beautiful that I first thought they were only decorations for the house.
I had a good rest in the night. I woke up the next morning and had rye bread with all sorts of cheese and schinken for breakfast.
School was interesting as well, very different from the school which I go to back in South Africa.
Each day will be an enjoyable day filled with adventures, whether it is inside or outside the house. Each family member makes make the visit for me worthwhile.
I am glad that I am finally experiencing life with the Germans and I am excitid for the rest of the month that is lying ahead.
GERMANY
😀 Thank you for every thing at the airport! My family is awesome and I am enjoying my stay!! Merry Christmas.😀
My arrival in Germany
😀 As i was coming here i was filled with excitement and adreneline to meet my new family!! The whole journey was very exciting for me as i got to meet different people and make new friends. i arrived in Goslar in the evening and got to see the night views of Germany. i must say the houses are beautiful and so are the towns. i love how everybody is excited about christmas and i love the decorations here. the family greeted me with open arms and i am looking forward to the rest of the holiday here. i am filled with excitement and i hope everyone has just as much fun as i am having ! wishing you all the best! and i thank fsa!😀
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
That´s all I can say about my first one and a half days here.It´s really been fun and intersting.I´ve met many people and everyone so far,including strangers in the street,has convinced me that the description of Germans as ´´not being quite as friendly as South Africans are´´ is not true.I think I´ve managed to do quite a bit already while I´ve been here,certainly more than what I do at home,even during school terms(lol)and I´ve enjoyed it.My host family members are really warm,friendly,conversational people and I really feel blessed to have been placed with such a family.
The only bad side to everything is the fact that I´ll only be staying for a month,Germany really is ´extraordinairily´ interesting,from the houses,the difference in culture,the different plants and trees,the public transport,the schools.tv channels etc.
Any feelings of doubt and hesitation about coming have been totally eliminated,it really is cool here.
Hope everyone else is having a good time and has fit in easily with their families!!
