So, How are you all? Here right in the middle of the mediterranean sea i'm still having a lot of fun. The first two days were a bit confusing, i had to make the 'placement-test' and i realized that the average level here is three.
Well now i will explain those levels:
1. beginner
2. basic
3. lower intermediate
4. intermediate
5. upper intermediate
6. advanced
7. just incredible good (but in that case i just can nog understand why you're learning enlish..) Thus, level 3 is like: My name are...
And that is horrible. They put me in level 5 and that is quiet oke for me. So, imagine, there are more than 150 students here. There are just 2 students in level 6. 12 in level 5. 30 in level 4 and the english of the other 120 is just hideous.
But, it can be funny as well. I've heared:
-You make me feel so warm in my soul. ( oh i love that one..;)But please believe me if i say that is wasn't ment in that way )
-I feel very very bad, but i can't explain it in english.
-I'm going to HAMHAMHAM. (HAVING BREAKFAST)
- Spisdeli! (And i am sorry, that is russian)
The residence is very nice but very noisy. And the shared rooms are somethimes a bit a problem; if you have got a roommate who's having a boyfriend...;) So thank god, mine is still behaving properly, but on the grapevine i've heared some stories.....
So generally speaking a like it here a lot. There are a lot nice students and, because we're right in the middle of St Julians, a lot of bars/pubs/clubs/restaurants/cinema's.
It really looks like a fun-fair here with all the colourfull lights; But while having a headache it's just horrible. (And my view: McDonalds)
Thank you for reading, and if you've got something to say about my english, please do!
I'm learning every day.
Love,
Annet

Han:
Dear Annet,
not suprising, you are being upgraded! And now provoking your readers to an answer in English... ik weet niet of ik dat steeds volhoud hoor... Excuse me for re-telling my memory of your reaction, once ago meeting with foreign languages being very young (3 years old). It was in Binn, Switzerland, we heard some people speaking Italian, and you said "hear hear, some Chinese men" and I answerëd: 'no, they are from Italy'. And then your reaction, with strong self-confidence: 'O.k.', that's funny. I did not know the people in Italy are used to speaking Chinese...
Love,

Anne Marleen:
Good evening everybody! This is a good way to practice our english, which will be very useful for the family reunion we planned :). I have a nice story for you Annet (one that you have not heard a thousand times already like the one Han wrote!!). Some time ago, a famous dutch professor in Delft started his course with the fantastic words: I hate you all very welcome! Isn't that funny? Level 1, I would say... xxxx An, Frank en Max
P.S. Volgende keer weer in het NL hoor. -

Joost (van...:-)...):
Heej Annet,
(ik wordt dus nu gedwongen wat te schrijven :-)....) Maar zo te lezen gaat je Engels goed vooruit, het schijnt dat Engels bier ook wonderen doet.... (als ex- Engelse kolonie moeten ze dat daar toch hebben?) Wanneer ben je weer terug in NL?..., lijkt me nml leuk je een keer te ontmoeten, je hebt vast massa's dingen aan me te vragen :-).
Geniet van je tijd daar.
Насладитесь партией

An:
Het klinkt allemaal even leuk! Hoe was Gozo? Heb zojuist de aanbetaling gedaan voor het familieweekend, dus nu kunnen we er niet meer onderuit... Maar volgens mij willen we dat ook helemaal niet! Kun je even laten weten wat voor weer het daar is? Daar hadden wij zojuist namelijk een discussie over... Geniet er maar lekker van, leuk dat je aan het eind van de maand bezoek krijgt! Misschien kun je ze om wraak te nemen op je kamergenootje gewoon vragen gezellig bij jullie op de kamer te komen logeren!!! -
