MY NEW FRIENDSHIPS
Having taken part of this Comenius Programme is, for me, an unforgettable experience; not only for the things I have learnt but also for the wonderful people I had the chance to meet. They are not many, but ,no doubt, they are โthe bestโ.
I will start with my Bulgarian mates (Galina, Bibi, Sara and Valery). For me, they are simply the best. They are the friends with whom we have always dreamt . They are nice, good-mannered, fun and really kind-hearted people. When I went to Bulgaria, they really took good care of us, trying to make the most of our visit and at the same time they didnโt want us to miss our country. Only them could manage that because, as I said before, they are awesome!!!
I would like to mention the Polish students too, Agatha, Ada, Agnieszka and Patryck. I had a great time with them thanks to their wit an sense of humour.
I canโt tell much about the Estonians and the Turkish children, as I didnโt spend much time with them but I am sure that they are also fantastic.
I can tell for sure I will never forget a single thing of the wonderful moments we shared together, because this has been the best time in my life so far and I can assure you that it will be kept forever as one of my sweetest memories.
As the name of this project is โEurope is laughingโ, just to end up, I would like to mention one of the best quotes by Oscar Wilde:โlaughter is not a bad beginning for friendship. And it is far from being a bad endingโ

MY NEW FRIENDSHIPS
The Comenius Project is thought as an exchange programme being its target the use of the English language. But, for me, it was more than that, it was a wonderful and unique experience.
I went to Estonia in April. It was a long long trip and we just spent five days in that country, but it was worthy. . Anyone would have been exhausted but I wasnโt. No matter how little I could rest or sleep, I always wanted more. I visited wonderful new places and a โfairy taleโ city, but, above all, people, wonderful people who made me have the best times in my life. They helped me when I didnโt know what to do and hey took really good care of us, trying to get the most of our visit. They were really friendly and great great fun.
I had the chance of immersing myself in a new culture and being able to see it and enjoy it from the โinsideโ, not as a tourist. And I got much more confident in English.
When all the foreign students came to Spain, I met more people, but I didnโt get as fond of them as I am with the Estonian people.
My โgirlโ, Kaisa, was very grateful to me and we got very close, we even learnt words from each otherโs languages.
I WOULDNโT CHANGE MY COMENIUS EXPERIENCE FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD
By Sara Miranda Seivane.
โMeeting my Comenius friends was one of the best experiences in my lifeโ
(Roi Campos)
โ Just remembering the last day that they spent with us makes me cryโ
โWhen I grow up, if I have enough money, I will go and visit them, 2 weeks in each countryโ
โThe best week in my lifeโ
(Jesรบs Miranda)
โAt the beginning, the people were shy but after some time, the Comenius people were polite, honest, reliable, happy and similar to us in a lot of aspectsโ
(รlvaro Rego)
โThe first day, I was very nervous because I thought I wouldnโt make any friends, (โฆ). The last day, I was really sad, I didnโt want them to leave, and, at the same time, I was very happy because I had made great friends, our friendship will last forever and we will certainly see each other againโฆsome timeโ
(Anxo Salgado)
โThe Polish girls are funny, crazy and very good people and we shared a lot of good times together (โฆ). I think that I will see them soon and they will show me their country and their cultureโ
(David Comendeiro)
โDuring the day, we didnโt talk much but at night, we couldnโt stop talkingโ
โIt is incredible , how can you miss people when you only spent 5 days with them?โ
(Bonia Campos)
โWe, as a group, had a good time together, trying to improve our English and getting to know other cultures. Needless to say, I will miss themโ
(Jรฉsica Fernรกndez)
โBeing with them, we learnt that what we consider as a part of our routine, for them, it was something unusual and they really enjoyed it, simple details which are imperceptiblefor usโ
(Patricia Fernรกndez)
โAt the beginning, I didnโt like the idea of a stranger in my own house but just when I got home, I got relaxed and we started playing board gamesโ
โIn March, I will go to Turkey to see my friends againโฆ. And to eat kebabs!!!โ
(Irene Gรณmez)
