French Literature
Every second Wednesday we make a
foreigner evening in the American corner of the library called "Šiaulių apskrities Povilo Višinskio viešoji biblioteka".
Anne- Sophie started with her presentation of French Literature on the 5th.November.
Anne- Sophie started with her presentation of French Literature on the 5th.November.
In a kind of Quiz she tested how much we already know about French Literature. Some of us were really good but to be honest I didn't know anything. Because of that it was really interesting for me. I learned a lot and when I came home I had the desire to start reading immediately. Do you know this feeling?
Moreover we could listen her wonderful French language when she was reading out of the famous book Ulysse from Bagdad (Schmitt Eric Emanuel).
And at the end we learned some important words which was real fun because of our horrible pronunciation. Thanks to Anne-Sophie that she showed and inspired us so much!!
Austrian Tradition
On Wednesday the 19.November I presented my home country Austria. We made a kind of journey through one year full of events, celebrations and also religions occasions. I had really a lot of things to tell. From "Wiener Opernball", Carneval and Easter over to Summerevents with traditional customs and "Dirndl" up to the winter which is dominated by Christmas markets, skiing and a lot of delicious food.

Japan
Every Monday people from Šiauliai meet in the American corner of the library to celebrate different events.
This Monday (the 22. November) we celebrated Thanksgiving together.
But the highlight of the evening was the presentation of Jungo about his home country Japan.
Jungo, an Erasmus student in Šiauliai, showed us his extremely interesting country. We learned about the language, food and of course the landscapes. About landscapes, the size, inhabitants, earthquakes,... he could tell us a lot because he is studying geography.
Moreover he was even dressed in the typical Kimono (crazy in this weather :D )
