Testimonials

Let me start by saying that this isn't my first experience at a camp abroad. It's already my third summer camp, but the first one where I'm learning German. Taking part in an international summer language camp in Berlin made a deep impression on me. The way the kids got along with each other was exceptional – I've never been to such a friendly camp before. I was really happy to make new friends I'm still in touch with today.

I'm convinced that going to a holiday camp abroad means much more than just learning a new language and getting to know a foreign culture. It's also about developing communication skills and gaining a bit of independence. The kids learn to live far away from home and see how people in other countries go about their daily lives.

This summer camp was an unforgettable new experience for me, and I am very grateful for it.

My stay at the summer camp on the International Lomonosov Campus in Berlin left a deep impression on me. Thanks to this wonderful opportunity, I got to know the fascinating city of Berlin and its rich history. I was especially impressed by Sanssouci Park in Potsdam – a place that has stayed with me ever since.

International camps like this one matter a lot for kids today, because they let them experience from an early age how people live in different countries. At the same time, they get the chance to learn German and improve their communication skills.

Of course, kids at a camp like this miss their families. Luckily, I was able to spend the whole time with my brother, which gave me a sense of closeness and of feeling at home.

Finally, I want to say that the Lomonosov School gave me valuable insights into life in Germany. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my German teacher at the language camp, Ms Wallburg, with all my heart. Her wonderful, outstanding lessons really inspired me. Thank you so much, and I wish you continued success and joy in your work!

The trip to Berlin and taking part in the summer camp left a positive impression on me. The atmosphere at the camp was both friendly and warm, and this educational trip was extremely valuable to me. It gave me the chance to experience life in another country and the everyday life of kids in Berlin up close.

I had the opportunity to visit the International Lomonosov School and meet students from different countries. It would make me very happy to continue my education at this school together with my new friends. As a saying from Kyrgyzstan goes: "It is better to see once than to hear a thousand times." This encounter broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of other cultures.

So I would like to sincerely thank the organisers and everyone who took part in this project. It was a wonderful and enriching experience!

Berlin fascinated me with its history, architecture and nature. It was especially interesting for me to get to know Berliners better. I was impressed by how easily they open up to things and appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. That is something we can learn from the locals.

At international camps like this, young people learn to connect and communicate with people from different cultures. You leave your comfort zone, become more independent and, as a wonderful bonus, make friends all over the world.

For me personally, the language barrier disappeared, and my German and English improved a lot. I learned how to find a common language with others. I truly believe every teenager should have the chance to take part in a camp like this.
