Or they are already an existing ‚flat-sharing community‘ who look for a new flatmate. All shared apartments are inspected by Colón staff!

ハンブルクはとても住みやすい街でした。

ショッピングモールやカフェ、レストランなどが揃っているし、公園も沢山あって自然も楽しめます。
私は友達とよくStadtparkという公園に行って、バーベキューをしたりして遊びました。
最初は不安が多かったんですけど、学校で開催してくれるエクスカーションに参加して、友達が出来てからは本当に楽しかったです!
学校の生徒でベルリンなどに日帰りツアーで行ったり、ビールを飲みに行ったりなどなど、エクスカーションがすごくよかったです。
授業もアットホームな雰囲気で、発言しやすい雰囲気で進めてくれたので、ドイツ語をしゃべることに対するためらいもすっかり無くなりました。
世界各国に友達ができたし、本当に人生で最高の経験ができました。

學校為我找到的寄宿家庭成員有轟爸和他女兒,他們很喜歡亞洲文化,他女兒也在上海學中文,可惜沒有機會遇到她,但我們都會通E-mail,因此成為彼此的語言學習對象!轟爸同時也是廚藝高手,原本擔心吃不習慣德國食物,沒想到麵包、乳酪和德國香腸超合我的胃住在寄宿家庭的好處就是直接融入當地生活,和轟爸學習生活化德語。

我每天過著很規律的生活,早睡早起自行準備早餐,接著搭地鐵到語言學校上課,課程從早上八點四十分開始到下午一點結束,下午我通常會留在學校的多媒體教室自學和複習當日所學,每天傍晚到寄宿家庭附近的公園運動,因為我去的月份是夏令時間,到晚上7、8點天都還是亮的,一天當中就可以做很多事。一開始在學校不太敢開口,但是因為學校是小班制,人數控制在15人以內,加上老師都會讓所有學生有機會開口說話,表達自己的想法和意見並和同學討論,慢慢的發現自己的口說和聽力能力進步了!我想這是在台灣沒有的學習環境和教學模式,我也下定決心把握機會利用課堂時間多開口與同學對話,當然也結交不少異國朋友!


短短的三個月中,我不單只有語言能力進步,隱形的收穫是在學習過程中、旅行以及和當地人、他國同學相處下,才發現自己的成長。在我離開前轟爸也很不捨,還開玩笑說要收養我當他的女兒,我很開心能夠遇到這麼好的家庭,也視他為德國的家人。回國後偶爾翻著照片讓我回憶起在這三個月經歷的人事物,允諾自己會再次回到德國!
