A Friendly School Visit

This week our students that has chosen French as their third language, have visitors from France. I do not have French since I have German, however I do have traveling life so I am some what involved with this visit. Last week me and my friend, Camilla, volunteered our self to have a welcome presentation.

We started the presentation with asking the French students what they know about Norway and Norwegians. We got some interesting answers. One of them even said Norwegians loved football but was not very good at it. She honestly nailed it with that one.

We moved on to talk about out government, prime minister and Royal Family. In the presentation, we also showed them different types of food. They were correct when they said we eat plenty of fish for dinner during the week and we also eat potato a lot.

We showed them pictures of 17th of may. Told them about usual traditions we do during that day and holidays. We explained the usual family-life in Norwegian families. About how we are closer to our parents and grandparents, instead of the whole family including cousins and aunts/uncles.

The best part of the presentation was when I talked about 17th of may. I love that day and it is important to me. I was excited to share them something I am excited about and loves. I told them about our Bunads and the children parades. One of the French teachers also asked me some questions about my Bundad. She wondered if we ever used them for more then just 17th of may.

I honestly do love the fact that we have students from another country visiting our school, I was in America summer 2015 as a exchange student and it gave me so much to learn in a different country!
