A typical day in the language school

 After having had breakfast with the host family everyone meets at school at 9 am.

First day is test day, which enables us to find the right class for each person.

The classes are divided into different groups: Beginners, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced.

Before school starts many kids are have fun playing table tennis in our gym or listening to music or just relaxing before classes start.

When the bell rings at 9:00, everyone strikes off on the way to their classroom.

Our teachers have elaborately prepared every lesson, which can include work with our mackdonald language academy exercise book, creative writing or talking about certain topics in class.

In our experience, students benefit greatly by taking part and enjoy interacting with people from different countries.

The first lesson ends at 10:45, which is the start of an active, half an hour of break time, Here, students chit chat with friends, play kicker, table tennis or billiard. Teachers prepare for the next class, while enjoying a well deserved cup of coffee and a nice treat.

11:15, break is over, the bell rings and is met with an array of sounds – grunting, cheering or whatever the mood is that day :)

The second lesson is also well chosen by our teachers to improve everyone’s English.
At 13:00, our big lunch break starts and everyone is happy to unpack the host family’s lunch package. Mostly, this contains a cheese-ham sandwich, some kind of fruit (apple, banana, orange), a small pack of crisps and something to drink. Some students visit the local diner or supermarket to see what delights are in store for them there.

The lunch break is also a good time to get to know the other students, make new friends and enjoy the nice atmosphere at school.

At 14:00, our afternoon activities start: Bowling, Sight Seeing, Sports, visiting the Castle/Cathedral, minigolf, just to name a few.

On Friday, for example we went bowling. Everyone was served a drink and popcorn, Neon lights and the loud music, made for a very enjoyable afternoons activitity.

At 117:00, another day was already over and the host families came to pick up their students for a little more interaction.
