Kanepi-Werther 2017-2018

Student exchange Kanepi-Werther 2018 On my way to Estonia, I was very excited to visit this country, because I heard many different experiences by friends or other students about Estonia. Some of them were quite good, others were not that positive. So I wanted to make my own ones. When we arrived in Kanepi, the students and teachers welcomed us very warm hearted.   My exchange family was so friendly to me and I was very happy about having some pets at the home, I was living in for a week. All in all we spent lots of time outside. We went hiking through the nature and the forests. I really liked spending time outside, but it was very cold so I really liked, when we get tea and some soups or kind like that, after a longer trip in the nature. But I also think that sometimes the walks were a bit too long, so you get kind of bored on this ways. My best experience on this trip was going to the sauna. I really liked it, because it is typical for this country. So for me ...

My exchange in Estonia 2018 The time I spent in Estonia was a great experience and good possibility to get to know another culture and to learn how to talk to other people in English. At first I was a bit shy and did not really know how to communicate with my host family until I got to know them better and knew how everything went on in their daily life.   At that time I started to be really comfortable at my home for the week and had a lot of fun in my host family.

Additionally I really liked the program organized by the school as well as the activities planned by my host family. Everyone was seriously trying to make our stay in Estonia as good as possible therefore they organized many meetings with all the exchange students and it did not become boring at all, even if Kanepi is just a really smal...

I am now going to tell you some experiences and emotions that I had while my student exchange in Estonia/ Kanepi.   At Thursday the 15 th march the german students arrived in Kanepi after a long bus ride from the airport in Riga. My first impression of the country was, that it was much colder than I expected.   As we drove through the country I saw a lot of snow and I also didn’t see a lot of houses or villages. I also noticed that there is a lot of very beautiful nature and woods in Estonia.  After a good sleep at my host family we were welcomed at the school and played some games to get to know each other. After that we went on a hike to the woods were we played some team games with the Estonian students. In the woods I realized that it was really really cold and after a short time I couldn’t feel my legs or hands anymore. On this first day and the hike I also saw a lot of the village “Kanepi” and I think that it is really small but it is really beautiful and...
