Andrea from Spain visited me. Everyone was nervous about the expectations, but I finally got to know Andrea well even though we sometimes didn't understand each other. We accommodated her in my room, which she only had for herself. She was very nice and friendly. My parents also understood her well, and liked her very much.

Having a host gave me the courage to communicate in English, overcome fear and brought me a new experience in communication in English."
