Evaluation I.
VANESA:
Skupinová mobilita bola pre mňa úžasná skúsenosť, ktorú by som si veľmi rada zopakovala, ak by bola ešte možnosť. Najviac sa mi páčilo v Španielsku to, že sme spoznali nových ľudí so skvelou osobnosťou, ako aj nádhernú prírodu a výhľad na more. Nič mi neprišlo nepríjemné, všetko bolo podľa mojich očakávaní. Zo začiatku som mala obavy, či sa nepomýlim alebo nebudem vedieť odpovedať, ale hneď ako sa so mnou začali španielski študenti rozprávať, som pochopila, že to vôbec nie je problém. Nikdy som sa nehanbila rozprávať pred ľuďmi, takže mi to nerobilo ťažkosti. Letela som už viackrát, takže ani s lietaním som nemala problém. O juhu Španielska som sa dozvedela mnoho zaujímavostí, napríklad že v niektorých mestách, ako je La Herradura, vôbec nesneží, v lete tam býva aj 50 stupňov alebo že majú nádherný karneval. S rodičmi cestujem pomerne často, hlavne mimo Slovenska, pretože milujeme spoznávať krásu iných krajín. Toto však bola moja prvá cesta do zahraničia bez rodičov a úprimne, bolo to skvelé! Jediné, čo mi prekážalo, bolo to, že týždeň bol príliš krátky. S tými ľuďmi som si vytvorila silné puto a najradšej by som tam zostala dlhšie.
ENGLISH: A group mobility was an amazing experience for me, which I would love to repeat in the future. What I liked the most about Spain was that we met new people with great personalities, as well as we could see the beautiful nature and enjoy the sea views. Nothing was uncomfortable, everything was as I expected. At first, I was worried that I would make mistakes or not to be able to answer, but as soon as the Spanish students started talking to me, I understood that it was not a problem at all. I have never been shy about talking in front of people, so it was not difficult for me. I have flown several times, so I had no problem with flying either. I learned many interesting things about the south of Spain, for example, that in some cities, such as La Herradura, it does not snow at all, in the summer it can be 50 degrees, or that they have a wonderful carnival. I travel quite often with my parents, especially outside Slovakia, because we love to discover the beauty of other countries. However, this was my first trip abroad without my parents and it was honestly great!
ѱŠ:
Bola to veľmi dobrá skúsenosť, či už z hľadiska komunikácie v cudzom jazyku, alebo cestovania do zahraničia. Určite by som si to bez váhania zopakovala. Najviac sa mi páčilo cestovanie a spoznávanie nových miest každý deň v Španielsku. Menej príjemné bolo len to, že som mala problém zaspať, pretože som sa tešila na ďalšie dobrodružstvá. Rozprávať po anglicky som sa nebála a rovnako som nemala žiadne obavy rozprávať pred triedou, pretože všetci boli veľmi milí. Pred odletom som bola trochu nervózna, lebo som letela prvýkrát, no nakoniec to bolo veľmi zaujímavé a príjemné. O juhu Španielska som sa dozvedela veľa zaujímavého. Fascinovala ma nádherná architektúra, najmä Alhambra. Mali sme tiež šancu ochutnať nové jedlá, ako napríklad Paellu. Spoznali sme históriu miest ako sú Granada a Málaga, a mohli sme obdivovať krásne kryštálové more priamo pri škole. S rodičmi často cestujeme na dovolenky, ale som zvyknutá cestovať do zahraničia aj sama. Toto síce nebola moja prvá cesta bez rodičov, ale bol to môj prvý let bez nich. Jeden týždeň nám stačil na zoznámenie sa s ostatnými, no určite by som brala aj dlhší pobyt. Takýto pobyt rozvíja samostatnosť a prispôsobiť sa novému prostrediu, ako aj spoznávanie novej kultúry. Preloženie a nahratie videa pred odchodom nebolo žiadnou záťažou, rovnako ako prezentovanie mojej skúsenosti mladším žiakom. Ubytovanie bolo výborné, mala som pohodlie a vždy som sa dobre vyspala. Strava mi tiež chutila, aj keď nebola ako doma, dokázala som si všetko vychutnať. Žiakom, ktorí zvažujú takýto pobyt, by som odkázala, aby to určite skúsili. Je to skvelá skúsenosť a zážitok na celý život, na ktorý stále rada spomínam. Navyše, zostala som v kontakte s viacerými Španielmi, s ktorými si často píšem cez sociálne siete.
ENGLISH: It was a very good experience, whether in terms of communication in a foreign language or in terms of travelling abroad. I would definitely do it again without hesitation. What I enjoyed the most was travelling and discovering new places every day. The only thing that wasn’t enjoyable was that I had troubles falling asleep because I was excited about the next adventures. I wasn’t afraid of speaking English and I also had no worries about speaking in front of the class because everyone was very kind.
Before the flight, I was a little nervous as it was my first time flying, but at the end, it was very interesting and enjoyable. I learned a lot of interesting things about southern Spain. I was fascinated by the beautiful architecture, especially the Alhambra. We also had the chance to try new food such as paella. We explored the history of cities like Granada and Málaga and admired the beautiful crystal-clear sea right near the school.
I often travel with my parents, but I’m used to travelling abroad on my own as well. This wasn’t my first trip without my parents, but it was my first flight without them. One week was enough to get to know the others, but I definitely wouldn’t mind a longer stay. Such trip develops independence, as well as knowledge about a new culture.
Preparing and recording a video before our departure was not hard and neither was presenting my experience to younger students.
The accommodation was excellent – I was comfortable and always had a good night’s sleep. The food was also tasty; even though it wasn’t like at home, I was able to enjoy it.
An answer to students who are thinking about taking part in similar activities: I would say YOU SHOULD definitely try it. It’s an amazing experience and a memory for a lifetime. I am staying in contact with several Spain friends and we often communicate through social media.
LILY:
Moja mobilita bola pre mňa dobrá skúsenosť a určite by som si ju zopakovala znova. Najviac sa mi páčila výučba v partnerskej škole a to, že sme mali hotel hneď pri mori. Na začiatku som mala obavy rozprávať po anglicky pred žiakmi, ale potom to už bolo v pohode. Neletela som prvý krát čiže letu som sa nebála. Každé poobedie sme chodili na výlety do okolitých miest, dozvedela som sa veľa o ich histórií, umení a kultúre na juhu Španielska. Často cestujem s rodičmi mimo našej krajiny, som zvyknutá cestovať. Toto nebola moja prvá cesta bez rodičov nakoľko som bola predtým na Erasme v Čechách. Určite by som chcela ostať v Španielsku dlhšie než týždeň. Okrem toho, že takýmto výletom si človek zdokonaľuje cudzí jazyk, učí sa aj samostatnosti, zodpovednosti a vytvára si nové kamarátstva. Bolo pre mňa celkom ťažké natočiť video o sebe, ale prezentácia bola veľmi ľahká. Nemala som obavy, mala som skôr trému prezentovať svoju skúsenosť mladším žiakom. Ubytovanie sa mi veľmi páčilo, hotel bol moderný a aj jedlo mi veľmi chutilo. Žiaci, ktorí majú pochybnosti zapojiť sa do programu Erasmus+ sa nemusia vôbec obávať, je to výborná skúsenosť a určite sa im bude páčiť. Som v kontakte s niektorými žiakmi so Španielska, ale nepíšeme si pravidelne.
ENGLISH:
My mobility stay was a good experience for me and I would definitely do it again. What I liked the most was learning at the partner school and the fact that we had a hotel right by the sea. At first, I was worried about speaking English in front of the students, but then it was fine. It wasn't my first time flying, so I wasn't afraid of flying. Every afternoon we went on trips to nearby cities, I learned a lot about their history, art and culture in the south of Spain. I often travel with my parents outside our country, I'm used to travelling. This wasn't my first trip without my parents, as I was on a previous Erasmus in the Czech Republic. I would definitely like to stay in Spain for longer than for a week. Beside you can improve your foreign language, you also learn your independence, responsibility and you make new friends. It was quite difficult for me to make a video about myself, but the presentation was very easy. I wasn't worried I was more nervous about presenting my experience to the younger students. I really liked the accommodation, the hotel was modern and I also really liked the food. Students who have doubts about joining the Erasmus+ program don't have to worry at all, it's a great experience and they will definitely enjoy it. I am in contact with some students from Spain, but we don't text each other regularly.
