In a few days I am headed to Poland to help a group of locals hone their English skills. I'm I qualified to teach English? Technically, no. Can I keep the banter rolling for hours on end with people who can speak only a bit of English? You bet!
So here's the scoop - I came across a link to the Angloville website and gave it a good read. It sounded right up my alley.
"Angloville is an English language immersion programme, enabling language and cultural exchange between native English speakers and Polish participants."
Too good to be true? I scoured the webbernet for anything negative about Angloville but it wasn't to be found. I was sitting in my CouchSurfing Host's flat in Riga wondering if this was the right thing to do. Jana gave me the poke I needed, so I submitted the application and a few days later, received an invite to join the programme.
My ticket to Warsaw is booked and I am looking forward to meeting the Polish participants. If anyone has any tips on conversation topics (I need to fill 12 hours a day), let me know!
Time for a surf.
Erm, tracksuits, lovely Irish ladies, sausages.
