MY COMENIUS DAYS IN SPAIN by Sonata Jasaityt ė
Every time when
I have a chance to visit another country, I can't wait looking forward to it. I
can't just describe that feeling like you're a little child on another planet, you have to feel it by yourself. And
that five days in Spain were marvelous.
Nature of Spain
and especially Vilassar de Mar is magnificient. I was in Spain
four years ago, so I missed this nature, all that palms, mandarin trees and
also mandarins. Now I can't believe that I lived near the sea. It's insane. I
still remember a sunny beach, bright sand and warm water although it was the
first winter day.
I
couldn't use to see palms and other trees with all those lights and Christmas
decorations. But I was surprised when I saw Christmas' fairs with those tiny figures,
houses that peoples decorate in their home. I have never seen it before. I felt
Christmas spirit at that moment.
I'm very happy
that I have opportunity to live with Maria and her family. I will remember how
sweet and kind they were. They accepted me like I was their family member. My
memories about living in this family is wonderful, I just don't have any bad
words about them. I liked our dinners, when all family, including me, sit aroud
the table and ate traditional Spain dishes. This is irreplaceable
moment. They shared everything with me. One thing stacked in my minds, when
after dinner, Maria‘s mother brought to all us sweets from Lithuania and Spain and we
enjoyed them. It was so a close moment.
Every
moment in Vilassar de Mar was fantastic, I will remember how all students had a
big dinner party in Chinese restaurant, danced and had a good time in a club
and how often we were all together.
I
wish I had opportunity to come back and met again with all my friends from this
project.

My Comenius days in Spain
On
November 29 - December 3, I was in Spain with the Comenius project. Here, in
Villasar de Mar, I have been just for a few days, but I really liked it. I
lived with a very friendly and caring family, I got to know interesting and
cool people, visited many beautiful places, slightly improved my English
language skills, and learned a few Spanish words. The time passed really
quickly.
Firstly,
during the preparation for the trip, everything looked very scary. After the
first night I have spent with the family, I still was not brave, but after some
time, I really enjoyed it. The parents were very nice and caring, and a girl,
her name is Anna, was very friendly, caring and eloquent. She taught me some
Spanish words. They were nice to me and I liked them very much.
The
first day of the visit was so nervous
because on the first half-day we had a presentation, but we succeeded to do it very
well, so, later I was able to enjoy the visit, and it was really fun, because
we have visited many famous places in Barcelona. Throughout the visit, I and
other participants of the project climbed to the hill from which we could see
all the stunning panoramic views of Barcelona, we visited the Guell park, and
we were at the Chinese restaurant. Also we waded in sea, the water was a little
chilly, but revived us. We visited the museum, where we learned more about
Spain, and we walked in the Ciutadella park, which posed for pictures with a
very large mammoth and stunning fountains. Walking in the Old Town I finally
realized the dream, I saw the Sagrada Familia church, which I admired a lot. So
Spain is a very impressive country where everyone is very friendly.
I
really enjoyed the visit to Spain, that I will remember for a long time. And what
I liked the most about it, was that the
Spanish students were very friendly and always tried to keep all us together. This is really good because I had
the opportunity to communicate with all participants of the project.

My Comenius days in Spain
My days spent in Spain
went so quickly. I still remember every moment in Vilassar de Mar. It was a
really great experience, I improved my English skills, learned some phrases in
Catalan language and got more self-confidence.
Everything started
with a fear and thrill but from the first moment of the meeting we all
communicated perfectly. I have met a lot of incredibly kind and joyful people
from various countries. The activities and excursions were really useful, we
have a possibility to see the most famous and fascinating places in Barcelona
like the Museum of the History of Catalonia, Park Güell, Ciutadella Park,
Sagrada Familia.
The leisure time was
absolutely funny and memorable, sometimes we couldn’t stop laughing. It was really
nice that all of us were almost always together and we could talk a lot. One of
the most fascinating things was going to the beach of Vilassar de Mar. The sea
was so blue that we were wading in the sea and it didn’t matter that the
weather wasn’t very warm. Also, we took
a lot of cheery photos.
In my opinion, these
days in Spain were really successful and I will always remember them.

My Comenius days in Spain
I am writing about my beautiful and
interesting five days in Spain .
It was evening when my English teacher, four classmates and I came to Barcelona’s
airport. Then, my classmates and I went with the teachers from Vilassar de Mar
to meet with our hosts. I felt a little scared but when I met them, I saw that
they are so friendly. All these days, I talked with the host family about various themes and spent so
fascinating time with them. I had a possibility to taste Catalan traditional
food, it was really delicious. Also I learnt some about Spain culture, they
learnt me some Catalan words, it was funny for me.
Except the Spanish family where I lived, I
had a lot of activities with Comenius partners these days. At school we had interesting
and useful presentations that broadened
my knowledge of history, from totalitarianism to democracy in different countries. They let me know more
about this period.
By the way, I had a chance to see and
visit a lot of exciting places like the Ciutadella park, the church of St.
Maria del Mar, the park Guell, so famous Sagrada Familia and other. There were
really amazing places that I could enjoy. Also I had a possibility to know more
about the history of Catalonia in the history museum. All Comenius participants
could visit the exposition and listen to stories of a tour guide.
Furthermore, I can say that I had
wonderful and unforgettable days in Spain. I met with all Comenius participants
from different countries and cultures, we had an amazing time which we spent
together, it was an awesome and incredibly good feeling to communicate, to know
something new about these students, their hobbies and activities. I will always
remember these days in Spain .

My Comenius days in Spain
All time I dreamed about a trip to Spain and when I
heard that our school is going to take part in a Comenius project and there
will be a possibility to go to Spain I was very excited. After some weeks I
knew that I will go to Spain. Days in Spain went very quickly but I had a lot
of good impressions from this trip.
Firstly, I think that Spanish people are very
friendly. I was very happy when I met with my host family. The members of this
family were very sincere, kind and helpful to me. They told me about the
traditional life in Spain, the main traditions and important events. The time
which I spend with this family was interesting and useful. By the way, I still
communicate with a Spanish girl from my host family on the Internet. Also I was
impressed with Spanish students’ hospitality and responsibility of us, and the
students from other Comenius project’s countries. They explained us about
various Spanish things or helped us if we had difficulties.
Another nice thing, which I brought from Spain, is the wonderful places,
nature. There were a lot of things which looked exotic, for example, palms,
warm and sunny weather in December, parrots which fly in the sky and wonderful
beach which looked like from a card. Also I was impressed by Barcelona’s
panorama from a high hill, a wonderful park Guell and unusual buildings by a Spanish Catalan architect Antony Gaudi.
So I am very happy that I
had an opportunity to meet with Spanish culture, history, famous places and
lovely people. Thank you for this trip.
