One Step Beyond

You made it! Now you are one step beyond, ready to find your way wherever you want.

Throughout the year you have acquired and consolidated skills that will make it easier for you to get ahead, and more importantly, to feel self-confident and trust yourself. You are in a position to be the perfect candidate as well as the perfect flat-mate or working partner. You are open to the world. Congratulations!

Thank you all for making this course such a good experience, for sharing your views, for your effort to do your best. Despite being a totally new subject at school about which you didn't have any previous references, you thought it was worth a try. As your teacher, I feel so proud! We made a good team, didn't we? 😉

Here the summary of responses to the evaluation questionnaire. Thank you for your feedback and helping me to go on learning 👍

Top five icon selection

"What better than a cup of tea in a rainy afternoon while watching an episode of Doctor Who?" This is a thought probably shared by many Britons who might also be fans of Monty Python and have a good English sense of humor themselves. They all must have visited Stonehenge at least one in their life, no doubt.

Although there are so many others, according to their own listings, this is definitely my top five British icon selection. What about yours?

Hooked on TV series

Fond of TV series? Which one is your favourite? Find here the one you'd like to watch in your resting time at home. You should try to talk your flatmates into it to avoid fights for the remote ;)

This is the first one I was talked into and got immediately hooked on. It was an ICT colleagues's fault. Don't miss it! 😉

What's on?

Making plans for the weekend? Explore the web to find something you'd like to do. There is a great variety of entertainment options! But ... could you afford all of them? Are they on at suitable times to get there on time by public transport? Check all the details very carefully before buying your ticket! Make up your mind and invite someone to go with you :)

It's none of your business

Starting a conversation and making small talk is the best way to make friends or avoid awkward silence. However, there are some topics that might get you into trouble. Let's see what is appropriate or inappropriate to say. Is it the same in your country?

The first few days

"If you plan to study abroad, you may fret about your first day at a university in a foreign country. The unfamiliar may seem scary, but take a few deep breaths and enjoy one of the most exciting periods of your life."

This is Karolina Kulach's encouraging introduction to the narration of her first day experience as an Erasmus student in Germany. Do you think you could have a similar experience? Would it be easy for you to become an expert in small talk?

Just like home

Just a term, six months, a whole year ...? Whatever the length of your stay will be, it's important to make the right decisions regarding accommodation in advance. You can live on campus or in a shared flat. What are your priorities? What are you more concerned about, place or people to live with?
