Well, i'm a couple days into language camp now. I am learning a lot faster than just studying on my own. We have lessons in the morning and afternoon, but we also have a good amount of free time to wander around the town and get to know each other. There are currently 22 students from the U.S.A., Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Taiwan. We get along well, but we are a diverse group. In our lessons we have vocabulary with nouns and verbs. Colors, numbers, and dates (days of the week, time, months, seasons) are three of the most reocurring topics. We are staying in a hostel on a small river in Jindřichův Hradec. A castle is towering over the 400 year old building that used to be a weaving factory. I can't post any of my own pictures because I forgot my connecting cord, but the town is very bright and colorful. The hostel is in the lower right hand corner of the picture, below the castle and next to the building with the red roof. It has a black roof. So far we have not seen any tourest places outside of town, but I think that side trips are planned in the next week and a half.

Good luck with the language, i have studied 3 diffrent languages in my studies and know how hard that can be.
Sounds like a good way to learn a difficulty language, before you start school. I am glad that you are having a great time with the other exchange students and in a beautiful historic town. Enjoy!
You are learning more Czech as I am learning spanish. My classes are really fun, especially spanish. My teacher is 20 years old, beautiful, fun and loves her job. She speaks Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. She looks like Jackie off of the 70s show. How are your teachers? Is the experience fun (as in the material) or fun (just to be with friends) or kinda tedious? When is your march break.
Dear Bronwyn,
I am glad you can be in a different culture where the language is different and their names amay be difficult to pronounce.. When I in Idaho in high school There were several from the Czeck some had difficult names like Hepjmanek,Herzinger, Dana,Tvurdy, Zack.more later Love Grandad
