... at least for me...but for some of my students soon leaving for their stay abroad it is even harder. Here is a letter which one of the students wrote to his future host-family:

"Good day my name is xx yy am 20 years and come from Berne, the capital of Switzerland. Recently has I mean 3 year old cook teachings locked. To my hobbies computer exit and cooking belongs. Gladly I would like in Australia the English language to learn and to me the country regard"
