Hi, my name is Robin Cathey and I am living and teaching English in Hungary.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today I was fortunate enough to visit the Cs\u00e1nyi Foundation in Kaposv\u00e1r to meet and speak with the wonderful students here.\u00a0 I was greeted at the train station by one of the helpful mentors from the center and we went to eat a traditional Hungarian lunch.\u00a0 Afterward, she and her colleagues took me to the center and showed me the facilities as well as pictures of the children they work with.\u00a0 Then we met some of the students from the foundation and walked to Kossuth Square where we saw the Christmas decorations and had coffees and hot chocolates! Back at the foundation, I met with students age 12-16 and showed them pictures of my home state of Georgia.\u00a0 We compared some of the issues of discrimination in the USA with the plight of minority groups here in Hungary.\u00a0 We brainstormed about minority languages and dialects in Hungary and discussed what the future might hold for those who speak them.\u00a0 Then, in groups, students planned their own presentations based on what they considered to be most representative of Hungary.\u00a0 The students were engaging and had important insights into their country and its culture and I was impressed by their grasp of the English language.\u00a0 I hope to visit again soon!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
