The school a.k.a language course has started

Ik heet Armo. Ik kom uit Estland. Ik ben in Elva geboren. Ik woon in Tallinn. Ik ben student public relations. In het weekend ga ik naar Antwerp.


Seems easy right, actually I had prepared for worse. But they say "it's only the beginning". Reading is easy, basically you read like Estonians do with couple of exceptions. Like G is pronounced HEI, J is JEI, U is Ü and Y is EI. Every monday we will have test and the last day of the course is an exam with two parts - writing and an interview. This saturday we will have a trip to Antwerpen and next one to Gent. There are 12 of us in the course: 3 Hungarians, 3 Estonians, 1 Finnish, 1 Italian, 1 Polish, 1 Spanish, 2 Norwegians. We'll see how it all works out and how I'm going to do in my first test.


Yesterday (Sunday) we (another Estonian, Riina) did a long walk in the city. Checked out the town hall, Old Market which is a square with bars and where all the students go in the evenings, although it was empty when we where there. Guess it was because of Sunday, I hope at least.


Oh one more thing, actually two. It's expensive here! Well you now these cheap fast noodles that in Estonia used to cost like 1.50 EEK, here you just change the currency and then you think if it's worth of it. Secondly, it's written in my mighty book of Belgium that here are over 200 different kind of beers. Lets say 200 then it's easier to keep track on it. Anyway, I have tried 2 already: Stella Artois and Jupiter. Couple more to go...
