First contact

February 3rd, 2015

It was our first lesson with Mrs Minacori and the first time I really met her. As usual, I expected to begin with the translation of a new text after a short introduction. But Mrs Minacori had something else in  mind.

In addition to translation exams, the course was made up of an extra work. Indeed, we were going  to collaborate with students from the USA and Ireland to create a project. I was pretty excited to work with them. Indeed, I like to discover other cultures, new way of thinking and countries.

The same day, our team workers sent us a message via Sulis - a platform from the University of Limerick in which we can communicate via a chat room - and introduced themselves. My team was made up of 6 students :
Born and raised  in Orlando, FL, USA, but  from Peru, Giannina  is studying at UFC. Seona  is Irish and she is studying at the University of Limerick with Amal, who is from Saudi Arabia. My two French workmates are Julie and Paul. They are studying at Paris Diderot University, as I do.



I didn't know their age - because I didn't dare to ask - but they all sounded really nice and happy to work with us. Everybody was motivated to work on this project.
