Hungarian Food

Well, it is Thursday and tomorrow will be our last day teaching at this English Camp. We have yet again met some amazing people who have helped to guide us through our third leg of this Hungarian journey. My class has been doing a good job participating and practicing English, although I wish they would use more English and less Hungarian. We have made it all week with no intrepreter and still everything has gotten accomplished. The students have created skits, made weather forecasts, given speeches, done an activity about being stuck on a deserted island, and tomorrow we will be learning about fact and fiction and the students will be participating in murder mysteries. Tomorrow I am doing an English challenge and giving all my students three post it notes. If I hear them talking in Hungarian I will take a post it. Whoever has post its at the end of the day will win a prize. Not sure if this method will work, but I am going to try it.

Each day after we are done teaching we have been going to lunch at this fantastic resturant. The resturant serves traditional Hungarian food for us. This includes starting with soup and then having a main meal. We have had bone soup, pea soup, and dill soup. Some of our main courses included Creamed Potatoes with meatloaf on top, stuffed cabbage, rice with pork and sauce with cabbage on the side, and today crepes.... delicious!


Next week we have heard we are heading to Biska where we will be again teaching at an English Camp. We are not sure how this week will work since we will be teaching all day plus an evening class. We have heard we will each be teaching for four hours a day, but do not know the levels of our students or anything. Yet again it will be a surprise. We have also heard we will be living at a church which makes us wonder if we will have showers... at least it is not a chicken coop right?

Well, that is all for now. I don't really know much else. Hope that you enjoy your day!
