We were given the opportunity to follow the exchange students to their classes at school for the day, which kind of defeats the idea of a summer break away from school :) It's really interesting so far and we are only in the second class. The classes are all about an hour and a half long and we started out the day in Spanish. It was really cool to sit in that class because I actually understood a little of what was going on :) I didn't understand the German at all but we went onto a cervantes website and played Spanish games to improve vocabulary. Some of the people in the class talked to us in English and one of them had actually lived in Michigan so his English was really good and easy to understand. We are now sitting in a bioinformatics class, but because exams were yesterday for the seniors or 13th graders (their school system is different with this grade), the teacher basically gave the students the class period to just talk and go on the internet. I'm typing this in the class and am trying to use the German keyboard which is exactly like ours at home except that the z and y are switched which is annoying :) Also, the shift button on the left is different. The bell just rang so it's off to another class :) I will post again later!
