French as the biggest challenge


So, I started an intensive course at EPFC language school in September, 3 times 3 hours/week. It was not easy and even I had lessons during the afternoon, so I left work around 1, I was so tired at the end of the day. But the good news is that I can recommend to everyone! It's not advertising the school, but it has lots of advantages to take the course here: - cheep(100€ registration fee for 1 school year+courses are cheep)- good location (I went to Port des Namur) but this depend on which language you choose. I had an amazing teacher who was professional and pedagogically perfect:)
All in all, take the opportunity not to pay hundreds of € and learn French maybe not in a very affective way.

SIP WELL:)

Now, it's almost the end of October. I could demonstrate all my activities in Brussels with the attached picture:) I don't really think, anybody from my work read this blog... the point would be to share my thought with them as well... but never mind:)

EVS - amazing experience?

Well, when I decided to apply for an EVS project in 2008, I decided not to get into a project which I'm not interested in; I was looking for it for very very long time, lots of energy, waiting for replies, hoping that an organization wants me:) Than, after 1,5 years of trying and searching, I got the project in Sleepwell. I was already very happy, resigned from my job and hoped that I made a good decision.
I still have 1,5 months of my project. Since there was a structural change in the office, I don't really think, I'm useful for Sleepwell or it's useful or whatever for me. It's sad, but true. The personal change influenced all my project and was not very good timing... but changes can be in good time? Well, we never know.
SO, the rest of my project is about figuring out what to do if Sleepwell is not very enthusiastic about my knowledge and ideas about work. And finally I could say, I got so many things from my EVS: I met amazing people (Italians, Latvians, Frenches, very few Belgians, Spanish and of course Hungarians). I can be only grateful for the fortune that gave me so many friends. And yes, Brussels. It's a chaotic city with lots of different nationalities, culture diversity and crazy ideas. French is a beautiful language, I just love it - day by day you need to fight with it, you can never think, now you speak French:)But if you respect the language, it gives you back all what you have already invested in it:) SO gooooooogogoogogoo:)

September


Autumn has definitely arrived:)It was about a month ago I did not write... Things are a bit changing - I know, it normal, but I think this is the most difficult period of my project. Anyway, I don't want to complain:) This week, I have lots of cultural program I will participate in. First, today a book launch in the Hungarian Culture Center(HBC), then tomorrow, Chopin night with Hungarian musicians also in HBC, and this Friday, I organize a cinema night in Sleepwell. It will be special and I'm very excited:) Hope everything will go well:)
So, if you're in Brussels, don't hesitate to come to any of these programs:)
