4 weeks ago I drove to the airport with my family, I said goodbye and I left for 10 months. Today, after this 4 weeks, I can say that it definitely wasn't a mistake.
About my situation right now:
I've never been away from home for such a long time. My wonderful hostfamily is helping me very much to get along in this new country with all the differences.
Also I'm not homesick. Sometimes I wish that something or someone would be here because I need it/him in a situation (or I just want to talk to them), but it's not me wishing myself home. I'm really happy to be here.
My Latvian improves, too, after this one month, I'm able to often understand the topic of people's conversations, I can understand easy texts (e.g. in TV spots, and today I understood a SMS from my hostdad for the first time without google translator) and I also can build a few sentences. I learn latvian every day at school with my latvian learning book. One skill I also improved is interpreting the way how people say things, with which voice, with which mimic and in which situation. I'm often able to guess what people are saying even though I don't understand any word.
I can say that I'm a really lucky exchange students. I'm happy with my hostfamily and my class, they're all very nice, and also the place where I live is perfect for exploring this country (or doing 1000 other awesome things. Guys: visit Rīga, it's amazing).
Sometimes I wish I could hug my german family, but 10 months are over really fast, and then I can do this again. I try to live here and now, enjoy all the experience I get and learn as much as I can, because I think this a possibility I will only get once in my life.
I wish you a wonderful evening and an amazing week ♡
Arlabunakti!
