The Language Exchange

Welcome to our Language Exchange! This blog is a platform for my students to publish their own texts in the languages I teach them. I think this might be a good way to motivate them to learn languages. Feel free to comment on the posts. And please be nice. (Every student has written an introductory post, usually accompanied by a photo. You can find them in the archives.)

Nochevieja - por Laura

Voy a celebrar con mis amigos. Para la cena vamos a preparar una "raclette" y un ponche. Toda la noche vamos a jugar "SingStar" y otros juegos. Justamente antes de medianoche vamos a fundir plomo para predecir el futuro. A las doce tomamos un vaso de champán y hacemos fuegos artificiales.
A todos que leen esto les deseo un próspero año nuevo!
Laura

Navidad - por Annika

Annika tuvo que escribir unas frases usando el vocabulario de Navidad. Eso es lo que ha escrito:

Mi madre decora el árbol de Navidad. Toda mi familia hace regalos. No ponemos un belén y no cantamos villancicos. Festejo la Nochevieja con mis amigos y hacemos fuegos artificiales.

X-mas - by Klara

I look forward to Christmas because of the presents. I'm not a religious person, that's why I don't care much about the celebrations. I don't go to church. We don't know yet what we will eat, but it's going to taste good!

A night in the barn - by Anna-Lena

A few years ago, in the summer, my friend and I slept in a barn. We slept in sleeping bags on a tumbril. We had brought sandwiches which we ate there. It was fun. When it was dark, we could see the orange moon through the barn doors. We told funny stories until we fell asleep. Suddenly there was a noise - we were scared! We didn't know where it came from. Then my friend remembered that there were mice in the barn. The next morning at breakfast we talked a lot about our exciting night. I'll never forget this little adventure.
