Fremdsprache und Freundschaft

These are (partly edited) excerpts from essays written by applicants for the German Scholarships Programme….

Es war echt toll, eine ganze Gruppe von Leuten zu haben, die dieselbe Leidenschaft für die Fremdsprachen wie ich haben. Jetzt habe ich eine Gruppe guter Freunde von den vier Ecken der Welt, und wir planen schon ein Wiedersehen an Silvester! Ich bin so dankbar für die Gelegenheit, Deutschland zu besuchen und erfahren, und ich fühle mich schon eifersüchtig auf die nächsten Preisträger, da sie eine echt wunderbare Zeit haben werden!

Sophie

Nicht so viele Leute können sagen, dass sie Freunde aus Deutschland, Schweden, Israel, Frankreich und Polen haben. Aber ich kann das sagen, weil ich den besten Sommer meines Lebens hatte, und ich kann ehrlich sagen, dass es die beste Erfahrung meines Lebens war.

Grace

Durch die Menschen, die ich kennengelernt habe, das Essen, das wir gegessen haben, und Deutschland, durch das wir gereist sind, habe ich die ganze Welt erfahren. Dank dieser Reise habe ich Freunde fürs Leben gefunden, die ich sonst niemals getroffen hätte.

Lidja

Ich fand Berlin sehr cool und modern – wie London. Dort haben wir die Berliner Mauer gesehen und ein bisschen über sie gelernt. Wir haben auch unser eigenes Graffiti gemacht! Wir haben einen Tag im Reichstag verbracht – es war für mich persönlich sehr interessant, weil ich mich für Politik interessiere. Wir haben so viel Spaß in Berlin gehabt, zum Beispiel bei Karaoke und bei der Schiffparty.

Darsheel

Morgens hatten wir zuerst eine Führung zu den “Berliner Unterwelten”. Dort sind wir unter die Erde gegangen und konnten viel über Bunker und Luftschutz lernen. Es war interessant und ich habe viel gelernt, weil es ziemlich interaktiv war. Bevor wir Abendessen gegessen haben, besuchten wir eine Werkstatt, in der wir über die Themen “Toleranz und Respekt” unterrichtet wurden.

Annaliese

Wir haben den magischen Königssee durch eine Bootsfahrt gesehen und sind in den Alpen geklettert! Es hat mir sehr gefallen, dass meine Gastfamilie auf dem Land wohnte, weil ich aus der Stadt London komme, deshalb konnte ich mit ihr ein völlig unterschiedliches Leben erfahren. Sie hatte ein Erdbeerfeld und einen Bauernhof, wo ich eine Traktorfahrt erfahren habe und ihre Tiere gesehen habe. Auch habe ich ein neues Lieblingshobby gefunden: Erdbeerenpflücken, das wir viele Male gemacht haben – und mit der Abendsonne war es so beruhigend und angenehm.

Lidija

Meine Gruppe ist nach Kelheim gefahren – für vielleicht einen der besten Monate meines Lebens. Wir sind am Nachmittag angekommen und zuerst war ich ein bisschen ängstlich, aber ich freute mich auf die nächsten 2 Wochen. In Kelheim sind wir in die Schule gegangen und wir haben auch Nürnberg und München besucht. Ich bin mit meinem Gastbruder zu einem Musikfestival gegangen und es war sehr toll! In Bayern hatten wir auch unseren zweiten Internationalen Abend, ich habe dafür eine Torte mit meiner Gastschwester gebacken, die sehr lecker war. Es war super, Bayern zu besuchen und ich habe auch ‘a bissl Bayerisch’ gelernt!

Darsheel

In den 2 Wochen besuchten wir Nürnberg, München, das Landratsamt und Regensburg. Mit meiner Gastfamilie schwamm ich in der Donau und auch flog ich mit meinem Gastvater in einem kleinen Flugzeug! Meine Familie war sehr großzügig und liebevoll, und es war schwierig, sie zu verlassen.

Grace

Jeden Tag sind wir in die Schule gegangen, wo wir über deutsche Kultur, Bräuche und Grammatik gelernt haben. Wir haben auch Schulfahrten gemacht z.B. Nürnberg, Altdorf, ein Kloster, die Faber Castell Fabrik und viel, viel mehr! Meine beste Erinnerung von Altdorf war unsere Fahrt zum Backhaus Fuchs, wo wir Brezeln gebacken und viel Kuchen gegessen haben.

Hannah

Normalerweise würde ich nicht die sogenannte ‘Komfortzone’ verlassen, aber dieses Mal habe ich die Entscheidung getroffen. Es war zwar eine große Herausforderung, aber es hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Außerdem habe ich so viele neue Leute kennengelernt, was mein Selbstvertauen gestärkt hat. Mein Deutsch hat sich auch natürlich verbessert – einer der Gründe wieso ich mich für das Programm beworben habe und vollkommen darin eingetaucht bin.
