My opinions
I think that this experience was very interesting, for a lot of reasons, for example for the English language, but also for the knowledge of other cultures and costumes. The visits that we did were very interesting.
The family where I stayed is really fantastic, friendly and attentive. Ola my Polish friends is a very good person.
