![]() Hello, my name is Tina. I am 24 years old and I am from Germany. I stayed in Montreal for four weeks in a host family. I studied english. GEOS choose a very nice host family for me. So I could practice my english which I have learned at school everyday. The GEOS team was great and warm. Whenever I have problems, I can ask them and they will help me. I feel I am welcomed. The teachers used different kinds of teaching methods, like listening, conversation, presentation, work in teams, movies and others. Therefore, the learning result is very good. GEOS had also a big offer on activities after school everyday in the week and especially on Friday. I had the chance to get to know Montréal with a big group of students. I was also on a daytrip to Ottawa. It was a well organized trip. I got to know the capital city of Canada. It was a very good day. I had a great time in Montréal. I had the chance to meet people from different countries and different cultures. I made a lot of new friends. I will never forget this time. Tina Germany |
