She already was there 1 month earlier, so I immediately had a schedule and taught together with Luise. The teachers in school, the head teacher and our contact person are all really supportive and want to make sure we are feeling well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amelie5-1-1024x577.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18853\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I like my host\nfamily a lot, and the accommodation is really good. I spent a lot of time with\nmy little host sisters and the aunt. They always show me some religious\nfunctions and tell me things about Indian traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a normal day\nstarts for me with the wake up scream of the cock. I get up at 7 o&#8217;clock and\nget ready. Around 7:30, I have breakfast with my host family. After that, my\nhost sisters get ready for school and leave for their school bus. I can leave\nlater, so when they and my host father left, I prepare some stuff for school.\nAround 9 o&#8217;clock, a teacher from school comes and picks me up and together we\ndrive to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amelie-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18848\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, from 10 am\ntill 4 pm, we give lessons to Standards 1 to 7. With the higher Standards, we\ncan do a lot and I see real progress. Standards 1 and 3 are hard to teach\nbecause they do not understand so much English, and we do not understand so\nmuch Kannada. I do not think that the lessons which we are giving there have\nsuch value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amelie4-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18852\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After school, I\ncome home and Anita, the aunt, makes tea and small snacks for me, Kanishka and\nAnushka, my host sisters. The rest of the afternoon and evening I spend with\nreading, learning Kannada, or go to Kundapur to the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amelie3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18851\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I can\nconclude that after 5 months, I feel really good in India. I like my work at\nthe project, I have a good relationship with my host family and also with the\nneighbours, where I stay often and I already saw a lot of India and its\nculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to\nliving in Germany, I could not say where it is better or worse. It is just\ndifferent. And I like to see something different a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Amelie1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18849\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now, I am 5 months in India.
