After waiting so long our program with BT started today. Right after we arrived at school in the morning we were greeted by Zsolt and Mrs. Halaine Steinberg form Beth Tfiloh School.
On our first lesson we listened to the song ’Wishlist’ by Pearl Jam and added some lines to the lyrics, which we will make some surprise with later on. We enjoyed the lesson, though we weren’t really good at it, but at least we had a lot of fun.
After this class, we had an English lesson with Mrs. Halaine Steinberg. She taught us about storytelling, how to make up stoop stories. We learned about the proper way of telling a story, and how to build up the structure of a story. It was really interesting and something we have never done before. We are really close to our final language examination and getting help in what we are not so much familiar with is something that we can take advantage of and be grateful for. We’ll have another lesson on Wednesday, which we’re really excited about and looking forward to.
After our English class with Mrs. Steinberg, we continued our day and we couldn’t wait for the evening. We were so excited to see the students from BT. They arrived at ‘Bálint Ház’ at around 9:30pm. Since we had not been in the group in the previous year we did not know anyone. Although they were really tired we had some good conversations, which we will go on with tomorrow. We had some pizza and water and got to know each other a little. We talked about their flight, the food, and our favorite series and movies. This one hour honestly felt like 5 minutes. Zsolt told us the program for tomorrow, which we are really looking forward to. Rabbi Soskil from BT greeted us and said a prayer. Then we said goodbye to our new friends. We are really looking forward to the following days’ programs together.
We are certain that this week will change our lives. ~Natália and Brigitta
