Expression from students

Hello, I would like to thank you for the Spanish conversation clubs, which is sadly reaching its end this week.
Juan was an excellent teacher, I gained a lot from the lessons with him...One can study grammar, but it's very difficult to get by without speaking.
Juan's way of teaching was very good , and it was obvious that he was taking the preparation very seriously.
We've had a lot of fun together, we have learned a bit more about the life in Uruguay and we met a good friend.
We would be very happy, if it was somehow possible to continue in the spanish conversation club because it seems very difficult to find an only Spanish speaking course in Trencin.

Once again thank for the chnce to inprve my Spanish.
Regards
Linke Cicova

Dobry den,
Rada by som sa Vam podakovala, za klub spanielskej konverzacie, ktory sa bohuzial uz tymto tyzdnom konci. Juan bol skvelym ucitelom, hodiny travene konverzovanim v spanielcine mi boli velkym prinosom...Clovek sa moze ucit gramatiku, ale bez rozpravania sa len horko tazko dohovori.
Juan mal velmi dobry styl vyucby a bolo vidiet ze sa na hodiny poctivo pripravuje.
Uzili sme si s nim vela srandy, dozvedeli sme sa nieco viac o zivote v Uruguaji a nasli sme si v nom dobreho kamarata. Keby bolo mozne pokracovat nejakym sposobom v klube spanielskej konverzacie, cize keby sa vam podarilo zohnat spanielsky hovoriacu osobu, tak by sme boli velmi stastni, lebo v Trencine je to dost tazke najst takyto klub kde sa len rozprava po spanielsky.

Este raz dakujeme za moznost zdokonalit sa v spanielcine.
S pozdravom ,
Lenka Čičová

 
Hello KC Aktivity,
I would like to thank you for the Spanish conversation course which exceeded my expectations.
Juan, alongside all my Slovak classmates, helped me to brush up on my knowledge of Spanish, and to motivate me to learn new vocabulary and grammar.
I really liked Juan's approach. We studied by experience: we watched films, we did a bit of cooking or were presented information about Uruguay with some youtube videos, too.
Despite the fact I didn't speak much, which was due to my lack of the vocabulary:), I enjoyed the lessons and, thanks to Juan, I was never bored.
muchas gracias por todo
Miro

Zdravím KC aktivity,
chcel by som sa Vám poďakovať za kurz španielskej konverzácie, ktorý prekonal moje očakávania.
Juan spolu so slovenskými spolužiakmi mi pomohli oprášiť španielčinu a motivovali ma k tomu, aby som sa začal zase učiť nové slovíčka a gramatiku:-)
Páčil sa mi Juanov prístup. Učili sme sa zážitkovou formou: mali sme kino, varenie alebo prezentáciu Uruguaia s použitím videí z youtube.
Napriek tomu, že som toho veľa nenarozprával (pretože mi chýba slovná zásoba:-) som si hodiny užil a nikdy som sa vďaka Juanovi nenudil.
Muchas gracias por todo
Miro

My summer activities and time in Slovakia.

In my last time in Slovakia I can say that for one side I am not prepared for leave Slovakia and for the other side I would like to see my family, friend and streets…

I am so happy with my task until now… The Spanish clubs are going according to my expectation or better. The next week will be the last clubs.

Also we already finish with presentations about our homeland at schools… it was also really good, the contact with Slovak children, how they felt with us… the most of the times they showed us interest for what we were doing, and showing them.

Now in our center  there are some activities for children because of summer vacation, came also some volunteers from USA doing activities with them, and teaching them English. I think it is really good experience for the children and so useful… Actually the most of the people need English for their future life - professional and also personal. In the future I think will be obligation speak in English for get a job, and for sure it is also really good for have some way to speak with  people whose speak totally different language but also  English.  The children on american camps are learning English at the same time that they are playing…. It is the best form how to educate children in my opinion. My task in that case is just to go there every morning and start to play some tables games, after that, the people from USA arrive and the activities with them start. Some days we go to play sport with them, like outside activities, really nice too. Tomorrow will be the last day of the children in our center, the center will take the normal ambiente. I think we are going to sicken for the children running in the center…  with Paulo, we are not like protagonist of this activitie, but we see it from the outside and the short time that we are with them is a pleasure.

I would like to speak about the creative workshops that are working in the center, it is also for children that are on holidays but they are not involved in the activities with USA people because it is other project. I have really good relation with the children of this activitie. I help to them to make the things but also I try to have and funny relation for make the atmosphere more nice and enjoyable.  Also I think they are not here just to be like at school, I think they are here for relax…and enjoy of open activities.

I think it is all what I want to say until now, just I hope to enjoy my last time in Slovakia, I think is the only possible way, I don’t have an other option that spent the more nice time that I can.. 
