We were glad to meet them. It was very fun. It was difficult to understand what they said. I was surprised that hearing words was a little difficult.
We could know a lot about Vietnam.

Today's partner was kids from Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. First we played Mystery Skype and it was a little difficult for us to find where they are from.
We have connected with schools in Vietnam several times, and it's very interesting that every school has each characteristic. Today, Vietnamese students introduced their culture to us.
Thanks Jenny from Vietnam for connecting!

Students in Serbia were wearing ordinary clothes. They were 12 to 14 years old. They looked like real family.

≪Flag≫
There are the symbol of two-head eagles on their flag. It has red, blue and white.

≪Impression≫
It was fun, but difficult for us to guess the country,
We were glad to meet them. We felt a little nervous. We were surprised to hear they thought that we ate sushi every day.
We could not understand what they said at first. They were cool and cute. We want to talk more next time. We want to study more about foreign countries.

After a few months absence, we restarted Skype in the classroom activities. This April 6 new members joined ESS club and today they had the first Mystery Skype. It's always pleasure to see students trying to communicate in the foreign language they learn at school. But I was happy to see that many other senior members, who have played Mystery Skype several times, led the session and helped their juniors. They spoke English impromptu and I hardly helped them. (I just assisted in technical issues.)
Thanks Bijana from Serbia for connecting! Let's keep in touch and we are looking forward to seeing your students again!
