Service Learning Week #7

This week wasn't much new to do. I still was helping for the preparations for the Foreign Language Field day, and it is a lot of fun.During my time at Tutoring I really learned a lot. I learned about how enjoyable it is to help other students out and especially when they really appreciate your help. The other tutors at the International Language Recource Center share all the same joy. They enjoy helping others and we always have a fun time with it. But not only that, I also improve my own vocabularies during this time here, because I learned new words in english that I didn't now about, or did only know the german meaning of it. The people working with me help out each other, and the fun part is, that I also learn more and more parts of other languages. Especially when we don't have anybody to tutor we sometimes exchange words from our different languages and learn so a little bit about another language or country. Everybody has always a story to share which is really a great joy. It seems to me all in all like a big nice family.

Service Learning Week #5

This was a pretty short week for me, since Spring break comes now up, there are hardly any people who come here for tutoring so I was not busy with that.
But I got other things to do. As one of the foreign language students, I had to fill out the Foreign Language Field Day Vocabulary Database. I had to enter for each word, sentence, or whatever question or phrase it was three wrong answers. This was definitely no fun. I had to do in total over 4000 entries and no I am not lying about that. It took me more than just a couple of hours to enter all these words and phrases.
This took up my whole work time almost every day this and last week.
