Sixteen students came to our farewell Bar-B-Que. The weather was kind to us and we all enjoyed the afternoon. A BIG THANK YOU goes to Simon & Alison McKay-Mills for letting us use their home and for cooking some great food!!

TABLEtalk
Our last TABLEtalk evening for this academic year. It’s sad to say goodbye to so many students. We hope that you have enjoyed sharing in our lives as much as we’ve enjoyed sharing in yours. Many students have given us feedback from this past semester; here are just a few of the comments:
STUDENT COMMENTS:
Question: What have you enjoyed most or found most beneficial about TABLEtalk?
Ania from Poland: “I enjoyed the company of people from different nationalities the most... and the tea :) And sweets of course :)))) And atmosphere :)))) For the first time I come there just to see what is going on there - and I still remember how excited I was after. I just knew that this is something special. It gave me an opportunity to talk with other students, to know them better … . The most beneficial thing was just to speak to people :) Simple - but how important! Not only to improve my language and get rid of instant fear that I make some mistakes - but also to make new friends. Thank you for that :)”
Imma from Spain: “The best thing of the TABLEtalk is to meet people, speak with them, and enjoy playing games.”
Lars from Germany: “The games were very funny. The possibility to meet native people or other students is the best of TABLEtalk. I think it is also good that TABLEtalk is not so religious. It is more neutral than I expected.”Libor from the Czech Republic: “Meeting people and the friendly atmosphere.” Min from China: “I enjoyed knowing so many people and improving my English.”
Question: What comments do you have regarding the INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY LUNCHES?
Kevin from China: “I think the international Sunday lunches are a good supplement of TABLEtalk. The international students have a chance to enter common local family homes and experience their real life.”
Ania from Poland: “Crazy question... Of course the lunches were great. Free food :))) and great company. I had a lot of fun. I wish I could attend them more often :)”
Imma from Spain: “Sunday lunches were very nice, the best thing is to know how a real Scottish family is and how is their house. Then, the meal is always wonderful, and this is good because in the Residence we never eat as good food as in the Sunday lunch!”
