Four new exchange students from France were welcomed last Monday, February 11th, at the Lope de Vega school.
The French students were welcomed on their first day at the school by the headmistress, Ms. Áurea González. Afterwards, the students toured all the school facilities, guided by their new Spanish classmates.
We spoke with them to get their first impressions of the school, Benidorm, and of course, Spain. Coraline, Jérôme, Alexandre, and Lauriane told us they really liked the school, finding it bigger and nicer than they expected. They also revealed that they've noticed many differences compared to their classes in France.
They repeatedly emphasized how much they enjoy Spanish cuisine and the great friendliness of the Spanish people. Furthermore, they are amazed by our "summer-like" temperatures, which is understandable considering that where they live, Bourg-en-Bresse, temperatures this week have reached -3 degrees Celsius.
It seems that the French students are very comfortable in our country, and in our school, where students and teachers have welcomed them with open arms.
His trip will last six weeks, so we'll be back at Don Lope Digital when his Spanish adventure concludes, to tell you about his new impressions and, of course, the memories he'll take back to his country, France.
