Cornellà: students' report

Claudia Tricca

My experience in Spain was fantastic!!!

When I arrived in Cornellà and I met my "new" family I was very shy ,but immediately they made me feel like a daughter .The girl that hosted me, Lucìa was very friendly, funny, extrovert with me, so I was at ease with

her. During these days also her parents were friendly and polite, in fact they spoke with me and asked me a lot of things about my country.  Besides they bought some Spanish food for me and they wanted to learn some Italian words. Lucía is very intelligent, in fact she was the only girl in the Comenius group that learned a lot of Italian words.

I also visited a lot of monuments and beautiful places, so I decide to return to Barcelona sooner or later, because this city is really wonderful!!! When I had to leave my friends we were all very sad, but Lucía and the others girls promised that in summer they will come to Pescara.

Before this experience I was insecure, now I would repeat that 1000 times!!!

Before leaving for Spain I was a little insecure because I didn't know my new friend's family and I never lived this type of experience. When I arrived in Cornellà I saw my friend and her mother, they were smiling and they soon hugged me. I was a bit scared because I didn't know how to communicate. My friend in fact can't speak good English and I can't speak Spanish, fortunately we found a way to understand each other. It was very funny! Their house was small but full of lights. I shared the room with the girl that hosted me. Our room was very colored and funny. Since the beginning I found my new friend very nice, all the members of the family were very friendly and caring. I visited a lot of monuments and I was enthusiastic. Unfortunately one day I felt sick because I had eaten too much.

In conclusion I liked very much this experience. I really hope the Spanish group will come to Italy next Summer.

My first cultural exchange was unforgettable!

On 3rd november we went to the Abruzzo airport at 1 pm. After the check-in, we took the plane at about three. When we arrived at the Girona airport, we took a bus which was directed to a station which is called Estación del norte. The trip was stressful and boring, especially because of the traffic.

However, after 2 hours we finally arrived at our destination. Spanish girls were waiting us anxiously at the station and we were recognized immediately. I met Iciar, her mother and her brother... We went to their house in Sant Feliu de Llobregat after 30 minutes because their house was far away to the station. I was tired but the family prepared for me kebab, pizza, a lot of cold cuts and salad with eggs and tuna. I couldn't believe that! The dinner was delicious. Later Iciar and I went to see some bars and places, for example the square. At 11 pm we came back home and we made a long conversation about us, to meet better each-other. After that we went to sleep. The first day was fantastic and I understood that week would have been wonderful.
