Monday, day 1
|
It's the first day of class. Most programs start at 9:00am - it's best to arrive early the first day. The teacher will give a short language evaluation. This will help find your language level and place you with students with similar abilities.
The school director or teacher will introduce the students to each other and begin the first class. After the first class if for any reason it is determined that a student was misplaced adjustments will be made. Your first class begins!
You arrived safely, passed the language test, completed your first class, it's time to relax and enjoy the afternoon free time.
Teachers are always making recommendations on the best places to visit and students make plans to meet up later to go out for the evening. After all what better way to practice than to explore the city.

A student quote from the second day in their new host city: "The first day was sensory overload! It was brilliant. After class on the second day I wanted to return to homestay and spend some time to get to know everyone. They gave me such a warm welcome, I decided to help prepare lunch...it was so much fun - a lot of laughing."
