This weekend we went to visit Fidelis' family and celebrate her fathers birthday. On the three hour car ride there I learned how to say nice to meet you and happy birthday...haha. Have a mentioned that Hungarian is a very complicated language to learn? Fidelis grew up in a village with German roots so there was a celebration this weekend that we attended. The members of the community decorated a tree with flowers on Saturday and Sunday there was a parade and people were dressed in the typical German attire. It was very interesting to watch. The community was so established, the same families have been doing this year after year. For dinner on Sunday we went to Fidelis' older sisters house and had stuffed cabbage which was soooo good (I never thought delicious and stuffed cabbage would come out of my mouth in the same sentence but they did!!)
I taught my first lesson today on directional words. There are two first grade classes and when I teach each class is split in two. So I taught the same lesson four times today! I think it went pretty well and Fidelis said everything was good. So my first day of teaching is over.
Tomorrow someone is coming from the newspaper to take pictures of me teaching the students. The principal asked me to go on live TV to talk about the school next Friday (I'm pretty sure someone else took over my body when I said yes!!) I am so nervous! I don't even know what they are going to ask me. It will all be in Hungarian and Fidelis is going to translate.
Overall everything is going very well here. I am learning so much but I miss my family! I can't believe it has not even been two weeks yet. I will try and keep everyone as updated as possible!
I hope everyone elses internships are going well :)
