We worked in groups

Ana cooked for us the famous Linzer Augen, nice cookies

We have learnt a lot of things about Europe, where is Austria and a lot about Linz we didn’t know

We realized that other teenagers in Europe speak very well English

We now know that we can do mistakes, the most important is to be understood

We were able to communicate in English

We were happy and proud to introduce the city where we study

We learnt a lot about Versailles

Not being able to talk to the Austrian students

Not having the possibility to see them via Skype

Not going to Linz to meet them
