The first time I thought in doing an EVS volunteering the idea of learning a new language was one of the main attractions and reasons to join this experience. How you pretend to life in a foreign country for a long period of time without wanting to learn their language and communicate with the locals. Even when almost every romanian person that I know has the skill to talk in more than one language from English to Spanish, they are really good with the languages. Also, the more languages you know the best for you professional and personal life. However with the children it is completely another story. The first time I worked with the kids I felt completely useless because I could not communicate or help them. In the past, from my priori work volunteering I was able to explain the subject we were talking about, to express myself, un general to be capable of make a bound with the children and the teenagers trough the words. So at first I saw this like a handicap making my task...
