課程為8週一個session,上課內容包含Grammar, Writing, Reading, Listening/Speaking。但在學校學習到的不單只有聽說讀寫,還有比這些更珍貴的「勇氣」。在台灣老是對「只要敢講、敢開口說就贏一半了」這個觀念感到不以為然,所以總擔心文法不對、音調錯誤而不敢開口。直到去到當地,我好像變了個人似的,突然不再擔心那些問題了。我想著大家都是去學習的, 也相信學英文就是要這樣,厚著臉皮不怕錯,錯最多的人最強,進步神速;沒有錯的人最弱,因為沒開口,當然不會錯。
班上同學來自日本、韓國、巴西、中國、沙烏地、泰國…等。不同的語言並不會讓我們有隔閡,反而讓我們交流更多千奇百怪的新奇文化。在學校最喜歡在課堂的空閒和大家聊天,因為每一個國家的文化都差很多,包含價值觀也是。好比日本人消費本來就很高,去到美國反而覺得價格很合理,台灣人看到每一餐都要台幣兩三百元,就覺得根本是搶劫!所以我們的口頭禪總是:「OH MY GOD! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! 」藉此知道很多很有趣的事情,每天都在上文化交流課。

其實四個月不長不短,生活經驗和學習到的各國文化真的很值得。每天散步都熟悉的左拐右轉,常常覺得自己好像已經去了很久。習慣友善的和不認識的路人打招呼,也習慣講重點單字和人家溝通。如果問我這些日子以來英文語言能力到底進步了多少,說實在我也不知所以然。毋庸置疑有進步,尤其是單字量和文法。但如果問我「學到多少東西」,我能夠非常肯定地說出:「非常多!」甚至學到的比語言還多、還有趣、難得、值得。
