Language Exchange

Text by Arancha Mena Rodríguez

I am going to talk about my videoconference experience with a student from Finland. First of all, our school sent an email to us (my new friend from Finland and me). In this e-mail, we introduced ourselves. It was the beginning for us. After that, we tried to find the best time to talk. It was very easy because her timetables are the same as mine. We decided to make a video call by WhatsApp. We talked for about 30/40 minutes. When our conversation started, we introduced ourselves. We spoke in English and Spanish and it was very easy for us to understand each other. We talked about the topics which the school gave us, but we felt very comfortable and both gave details about our personal lives. I’d like to finish by adding that I’ve got a new friend from Finland, and now we are connected. We’ve talked again and we enjoy sharing little things about our everyday life. I recommend this language exchange to my Spanish classmates. Thanks!
