"Enjoyable"

Natalia Martínez-Acitores, student from Spain

Lahntal was a good experience but the place where the camp took place was a bit isolated, which means that when we had free time we didn't have much to do. Our teachers tried to entertain us by making activities so that we were occupied during our spare time. Some of them turned out to be very funny and enjoyable but others were very boring and also too long. Regarding the classes, I had a bit of trouble with the level but after talking with the headmistress they found a solution. They started using new material in which the level was higher, but unfortunately in my class there were some students that didn't have enough knowledge in order to follow through the classes, so we kept going a bit slowly. I found the housing very comfortable and the staff was very nice to us. The teachers were very nice. They always listened to our wishes and tried to make things better. I met a lot of new people with whom I had an unforgettable time with. What I found really interesting the fact that a lot of nationalities were mixed in the same camp, because we met people from all around the world and learnt new things about their homelands.
