Magyarmecske Tanulda

The flowers are budding, the grass is sprouting up green, and the kids are all but too eager to get out onto the soccer field...it can mean only one thing: Spring has arrived!!
And with it, for your viewing pleasure, are some pictures!

One of the activities that takes place at the tanulda* where I spend my afternoons, is foreign language learning! In the picture above, an array of third graders are working on their English homework (some, perhaps more enthused about it than others :)
Along with the scheduled English lessons and homework sessions at the tanulda, I'll often find myself pulled into this side room, where a wall-to-wall chalk board resides, and many a little girl wants to draw animals, or play school, or 'hang-man'...all of which turn out to be great opportunities for teaching the kids, while also having fun and playing :)
Stay tuned for more pictures from Magyarmecske!


*Just as a reminder, in case you're wondering what in the world a 'tanulda' is, here in Magyarmecske, a tanulda is something like an after-school community house/center, where mostly kids (though at times, people of all ages from the community can be found there) come, to learn, work on homework, play, use the computer, and sometimes, just hang out, in a safe environment.
