Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
Firstly, when you join Angloville, for one, or more, of it's many programs in Poland and Hungary, your meals and accommodation will be provided free of charge.
And now for a question.......Would you like to meet new volunteer friends from such places as the USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, Eire amongst many others, and also meet Polish and Hungarian participants and help them with their English speaking skills? If the answer is yes,........ then..........................Welcome to Angloville!
Angloville focuses on enabling a cultural and linguistic exchange between the native English speakers and Polish or Hungarian participants who are keen to improve their English speaking skills whilst having something of a holiday as well.
During the program you will speak in English to the participants, encouraging them to write things down, ask you questions etc. You can help them by explaining things clearly, providing them with new vocabulary and phrases, and putting them all into a context to check understanding. We will give you instruction, and materials to help you along!
The program enables the participants to meet native English speakers who they perhaps don't normally have a chance to communicate with regularly. During the program they will tell you about their lives, interests, their culture, and vice versa. You will be involved in negotiations, telephone role plays etc. You will also have fun as the program invites you to get involved by coordinating games and activities to involve the entire group. Pictionary, taboo, a pub quiz, sports, a field trip, enjoying the venues amenities during free time, are all part of the program too and you are welcome to bring your own creative ideas along with you.
So, what’s included:
• Free accommodation and meals during your stay in a countryside venue in the heart of Poland or Hungary.
• A free tour (lunch included) of Wroclaw, Warsaw, Budapest (depending on which location you leave from)
• Free transportation from the departure city to the venue, and the return journey also.
• A valuable and memorable experience with native Polish / Hungarian participants, and fellow volunteers who are very possibly as interested in experiencing other cultures as you are
There are many reasons to volunteer for Angloville. One thing’s for sure: it’ll be an extremely unique and fulfilling experience that will provide you with quite a few new interesting friends.
