A nice experience with Skype


Hi everybody!!!!

Yesterday I finally Skype with the peers in my group ad our America peer. Great!!! It was our first time in Skype with he American girl so we decided to participate altogether at a single Skype conference so to have the possibility to know each other. We discovered that our "American" peer is not American at all because she comes from Malaga and she is been studying at the Dickinson college and is going to remain there for a year, only.

After a brief presentation, we began to talk about "immigration": we found some diffculties because since Rocio was not American she could not explain us what's happening with immigrants in the US. Anyway, the intercultural exchange result positive as we gathered information from two different cultures, at the same time: Rocio tried to describe the immigration in the US from her point of view, based on what she could see over the period of her studies, then she also gave us a description of immigration in Spain.

I really enjoyed the exchange and I think that talking with people from a different country and with a different culture may be often more useful than reading a book about a foreign culture. If not more useful, certainly less boring and more exciting!!!!:-)
