though it and my name is Julia I'm twenty two years old and this year I'm here just as much a student and please don't ask yourself why because that's what I'm going to try to speak to you today but now you have to be a little bit but then because I'm going to start for a whole year cycle exactly when I finished my high school why
there because it was the first time that I decided the will to live into another country because I didn't know what to study but four short months precincts and chemistry wearing me for me so I moved into England there I worked a little bit in a catering company but the most important thing I learned was how to speak English I know equipped Chauncey but it's not
believe me when I arrived there I realized that they didn't know anything about from these perfect pressed their fifties Britain continues its future and as you know this is not enough to have a private conversation another to have a good job so at the beginning it was a little bit difficult because of the language but before I think on that now that they meaning here to
remember that in the Senate yes if this evening and I use for nine months and after that I went back to Spain and there I started publicity about the relationships and I it because these are really the theory was watching available in my ability I moved into another beat Sylvia to me is more militant activity their ideas for Sir yes but here's the first one I
started thinking about moving to another city so that's most could be out there as tourists but as you know unfortunately we just come loaded as proof once you know what life so I decided to take it for the fourth one for this one and although you can't seem that the something that uses tightly and tomorrow you already know everything about your destination believe it's not so
quickly in fact it was ten days after a one month after I started my first year and a new recipe that I have to apply for their children but it's not my brother because I knew that I wanted to live tool go almost everywhere so the first thing I thought was okay wheat sandwich I would love to learn he got a number of the beast always
sounds perfect for it they are pretty close to us but they want to speak a language more spoken around one Yemen very difficult so now the question was English or French then this is what was good but we were able to speak another language you social very put so little and after a few days I realized that what I really wanted was stunned belief in a
big city for a one year so I sat down in the sofa with my family and I take the publisher of all of this it is that they have available and which was the view that first one there because one so fearless so here you have well here you have the first day because I came here to Sophia on a site though you three months later
I had my answer we have in mind that the F. there's the nation Sophia and because I was very happy of course the first thing I did was to call my parents hello mom I'm going to Sophia go to what Sophia but it'll five I would go to he's going to show Phoenix here what with little to show her by cut no I think as far
away when we are your hobbies yes would put of course I am so I guess we owe to our hobby I'm not there my parents where my whole family and also my friends and all of then asked me to sing why Sophia something that they answer with another question why not I'm because times moved very very quickly it was already September and I have to take
that thing going here to Sophia and to be honest I didn't know anything about the country that people a foot or the miners I guess hot out and I know there's a friend of a friend quit living on Tokyo nationals so I raced to the airport I took a taxi I know those who had been you know to pay more than fifteen let us I pay
fees delivers the goods with them since they give twenty five years but what will it was my first day here school of course to bake no choice now I was already in Sofia and it was time to to prove if my thoughts about the city and the country where courts and the first thing I should say to you is this country is much more developed than
I thought okay is true of a mysterious stumble every single day the basement but the social throughout the Huffington at the network anything but we don't Huffington it in the bank in the park into so far from the neighbors but yeah I could also use that took them up in the metro with let's say to try to take them up because believe me is no easy
when the city where you're living is with them like this in fact it was that one of the most if it difficult thing since I arrived here I think that from because of course to understand or to speak it's very sick here you have the proof in the first letter that they sent to my family trying to understand what I am is worse and try to
understand things it's amazing ukuleles in for half an hour and not understand that what in fact it took me a couple of months to know that here were free to my name to take my meds from all that so on that point I thought okay for you you will stay in Bulgaria for nine months so maybe you will learn you should let a little bit of
work I but where to start with these little what what I would tell you which was my first worse because if I let you waste I don't think that you are going to find out my first word was nesterovic is very easy I arrived here I went to a five year with my friends on the toe to meet them mostly for that thing not drop it
my second one I know it sounds funny they put through its Cup has a if you are going to the supermarket everyday they don't understand English given under some guidance on everything they ask you the Ritz comp ideas for sure that there were no words of its comes then it worst Dover then though invented honest as their way out of course pretty messy Anto I'm sorry
I'm different and number look idea and was that although I am using the notion that I now with this force you can already guess which was my first conversation on what was it in the supermarket it was easy Dover to them both of them blackout that that the rates got damaged seek more that the reason it is that it nmsiis it and then my first sentence
it was thanks of one of my regarding things mostly this prayed that yes I really need to take off from the minibus as you know they don't have things that subtle and believe me it is noisy that they go from I mean US when you don't speak any more than what I am being a father is because of the things that impact remark they mean US
I remember the first they wanted to came here to the university on I knew that I have to look to some payment to take the minibus try winter sentiment on a state where when something these districts the district that it is white and the other way in what to do I decided to go downstairs and asked to have a little guy who is working in information
point how can I get to in your opening university and he told me I you have to take two classes no no no no no I have to take what number twenty sevens or the number twenty ninth I went to maybe are talking about the private ones I don't know if I want to go to immigration university and you'll let me know the time table understood
no unfortunately they don't have okay and how can I get to that yes go up there some when you see that many of us do yet bootleg this to a number twenty seventh or twenty ninth okay I went upstairs eyes I wait for the bus and when a sole device let's say they bomb maybe okay a little bit bigger but come on twelve seats in there
twenty five people inside their theories my goodness the first day was horrible Atari sold one hour and a half later to my physician in the university brewing is punished people always need something that I have to say that there's not always through when moving your head from left to right when you're saying yes I know the way you are saying now is driving me crazy although
I knew before coming here it seemed bush what do you see it and of course to understand it at the first I know that you could think companies raise his deaf to the opposite now know what we want to what do we want to explode twist to this game and it was with a friend honest of their last twenty seventh because I watch I wasn't sure
at all which was the number that they should take as though the US army asked with obvious kissed me are you going to students can yes No and I said to my friend come on and we kind of he's going first to this case we sat down and asked me Korea where you going that we are going to stir this case yet another and in this
country that means no we just left Atlantean where after swanky so as you see going on it as well just finished fears that the too much more in districts that in the university I know we signed on to study but was it really worth it is what Iran on your life on the street PR I met people from Turkey from Greece from board away from England
from France from led the effort to revive a weak and of course from Spain and from what I am what icon where anti right now is that we're going on a national for sure that you are going to providing which in my case English in the university what I am if they buy a step with some of irony in France I need any thallium with must
admit but it's something that you can now use when you are the trips in fact it was ten days after I read here that we decided to go to another city some of it was how our destination and it was October so of course it was completely empty but you can in nineteen twenty arrests most you know beat that we can look perfect then we say
that the will to realize it was amazing but they are still wondering how the comments made to go there because I personally I have an amazing month as near to my hometown and I have never been there but they've been for the most important thing is that we reached the peak after that I think we felt the store and we decided to vote with OSHA there
it was either be Cardozo but there we met that I forgive any mother he's for eight years so even here apprentice mice pennies I also have been increased in this hour Nikki I'm from there we went with this have to see these are these what her foot so another goings on other people another country add another level which come on how to countries which have Sony
out kind used in completely oversee wait I couldn't believe after two months you see me as no now Nate was just short that was means that then in which are horrible that's because when I took the bus to pay much but from Sophia and the driver told me the other writer I said to my friends I'm feeling okay a game at home I can understand that

and Toshiba as more released but with these ministry and the way I am telling you all of these things if you're are living here because with this I want to show you how many places linguistics paper goings on minors do got no been on national and of course the quarter of your destination country don't worry I'm not going to be but I am in my case
in many points very different as punishment the character is the thing that impressed me more I feel like people here is like sad or angry I know that you have a difficult political situation but look at this pain we are not doing great either so don't worry you admit I don't therefore they waited for the Serbs easily their beats different to make Ontario so in my
country all of the vicious with continental you can order that to me is if we are twenty friends eating in outrage that we should keep all at the same time something impossible here as you know they can read the you so long I'm feeling sometimes I need to be sitting here in Spain if you are going to a bank to the elevator tool of the Irish
turned to whatever if you didn't want to hear both you have to say but morning how are you good afternoon something that is not very cold here sometimes when I'm getting in the butt and then give us an insane governor then go to my tent and nobody century me I feel a little bit silly but that's one of the things that they should know before coming
here and I didn't know they're thieves that apes you got to take a backseat you have to play to listen to you give to a Texas driver five you he doesn't give you any money okay now I realize that's it's normal here to give a little bit of tape something that they should know before coming here and I didn't know but apart from all that we
have something very calm and very important angle that makes me feel like a home there are some the restaurants they are always full of people saw the end well not so different and now I want to ask you something how many of you right now we recommend Sophia I double destination for national just didn't I know that a few white I am telling you that they
