Sprachreisen sind toll

Du möchtest gern die französische Sprache lernen, aber dafür nicht unbedingt ins Ausland fahren? Oder du kannst sogar schon ein wenig Französisch sprechen, traust deinen eigenen Fähigkeiten aber noch nicht weit genug über den Weg um sie direkt in Frankreich anzuwenden? Dann gibt es für dich genau die richtige Lösung um dich sicher auf deinen ersten Besuch in la France vorzubereiten: bei Sprachferien Französisch für Kinder im mittelalterlichen Grafenschloss Diez an der Lahn. Hier wohnst du hoch über der Stadt im Schloss und kannst deine „Untertanen“ unten im Ort entlang der Lahn beobachten und nebenbei noch deine Sprachkenntnisse verbessern. Weiterlesen…

The first week of the autumn holidays in Oberwesel was one to remember! Starting off with a walk through the old town of Oberwesel we heard about the history of the town, saw the church of St. Mary and got to walk on the old town wall next to the Rhine River.
One highlight of the week was on Wednesday with the trip to castle Rheinfels near the city St. Goar. The castle was enormous and our guide was very funny and entertaining. Learning about the castle, its history and parts we were guided through the big area and got to walk through the many underground tunnels of the centuries old castle. Being at some points only a little more than one meter high, the tunnels were exciting and scary at the same time and were the highlight of the tour of the castle.

On Friday, 21st August 2009 we started our journey to England, where we arrived on the next day at 9.00 a.m. After the arrival we went to the Host Family or were checked in the residences like Hurn House or Cranborne House. On the same day, the IP staff showed us the city and the College and after that we had some time for ourselves.

Three amazing weeks in Bournemouth

After thinking about where to go on a language course over and                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               over again, we finally decided to spend three weeks in Bournemouth, being convinced by the short distance to London, the mild climate and the direct location to the Atlantic Ocean.
With two members of the IP Crew, Urenna and Cynthia, already waiting for us, we were really nice welcomed after the long bus journey. Then we were brought to our accommodation, Cranborne House, where we had a few hours time to relax.
Before we went on a guided town walk, we had an introduction and a summary of the daily activity programme, e.g. nail-painting, Henna Tattoo, Beach BBQ and basketball.

IP is spending its last two weeks on the sunny Biarritz. Right after the school the IP students enjoys the last opportunity to sunbath on the welcoming beaches of Biarritz, Anglet and Hendaye. Meanwhile the activities never stop. This week we offered quite a variety of them: from a visit of Bilbao in Spain to the very atypical for the hot summer day activity – ice-skating.

My time in Bournemouth
I spent two amazing weeks at IP Bournemouth where I had a lot of fun, made new friends and could enjoy the programme which the IP Team prepared for us. Even the weather was better than I expected. In the first week, I especially liked the workshop IP Summer Magazine where we collected some IP gossip as well as horoscopes, made a photo story and judged the summer fashion. Also the Nail Painting was a pleasure since I first spoiled my hands with a peeling, then I could learn how to make French Manicure and completed it with nice flower stickers. One of my favourite evening events was the Black & White Party where almost everybody dressed up in black and/or white.

Another fun- filled week in the sunny IP Bournemouth. The week kicked off with the making of friendship bracelets.  We had beautiful bright colours of wools and beads as the students took the opportunity to show off their creativity.  Some made bracelets for their loved ones back at home and others exchanged bracelets with their new found friends.
The evening event ‘the Pyjama Party’ was admittedly one of the funniest and most enjoyable parties we have had so far.  The Ocean was transformed into a big, cosy and relaxing bedroom with colourful balloons and cuddly teddy bears.  The students arrived properly dressed for the occasion in their ‘PJs’ and as usual, they danced, danced and danced as they enjoyed the freshly prepared energy bursting fruits and vegetables.

Last Week in Teignmouth
This week we quite often went to several coffee shops and had the so called “Cream tea”.
“Cream tea” is a typical Devon ceremony during teatime. Next to the famous English tea that is served with milk, you got the scones, which are somewhat really sweet and heavy yeast breads “Hefebroetchen” either plain or including raisins, nuts or other ingredients. On the scones, you but clotted cream that is a kind of special butter with cream and on top, there goes strawberry jam.
