Dear Carolin and Belén!!!
Here in Scotland all is going great, even though I am still adapting to my new lifestyle! It is just so different to everything in Spain, which I often miss quite a lot!
As you can imagine, it is not always easy with the kids, as they are a bit naughty, especially when Kaid (4) and Louis (2) play together!!! They don´t really listen to me...they sometimes cry and shout....but I leave them enough space t do so and when I can´t handle the situation well, I luckily have a wonderful host mother who can give me hand. Thank God it´s only sometimes!!!
On other ocasions they are very sweet and caring and love to chat to my Spanish family on skype, they say Spanish words and it´s fun to be with them. So I will stick to the good moments!!
The host families in general is lovely! Emma (the mother) is very busy, so I am trying to be of as much help as possible! She helps me a lot and cares for my well-being, which is very nice.
I still haven´t been to English classes, but will start soon, in a couple of weeks, I hope! And Emma has offered me to change my time-schedule, so I can assist, which is great!
I am looking forward to get to know the places around....villages like Falkirk and Stirling. Yesterday I visited Glasgow!!
Language-wise I nearly understand everything, even though I manage to pick it up quicker from adults than from the kids. What is most difficult for me is the speaking, as I speak faster than I think, and then get lost on the way!
I will write again soon and am sending you many greetings from the very very very cold Scotland!!!!
