Portugal ( :

Hi :D I'm Mariana from the Portugal 'team'. Here's a small video for you to see some parts of Portugal. It's maybe exaggerating a bit but at least it's in English. (:

Hi every body!

Here are some picture and sentence abut the first Hungarian Metro (undergrand)!

It has 11 stations.

It is a "now day's" metro!

It was dreamed in 1870, but there was a condition, it had to built for 1896. But some station was rebuilt in 1973. After that, there were some other little repair and it was finished in 1992.

It is an old "car".

It's a new one.

I hope it's interestin for you!

Have a good night.

Gergő

Hi! It's Vicki the Hungarian teacher again. :)

Some of our students are still having trouble posting on the blog, or becoming members, so if you don't see a lot of Hungarians on here yet, don't worry they will be here soon.

There was snow in the Matra mountains/hills in northern Hungary today, so it seems like winter is really here. Hopefully it will stay like this until you come in January.

For the Hungarians, we'll have a meeting on Monday at 12 in the usual place (room 111). See you all then.

Have a good weekend everybody!

Hey guys!

I am Krisz, hopefully all of you are waiting for the exchange, 'cause we are looking forward so much:) I hope It's gonna be snowy when you come, and hot when we go:D And for the end I post a pisture as everybody wanted:






------------------------------------------------------>

Hungarian bloggers, some help to post

Apparently some Hungarian exchangers are having some troubles in writing a direct post as they could only sign in as "followers" or "commenters" and asked for some help. Ok, let's see if it works with some instructions:

1) follow the invitation link Catharina sent to your e-mails
2) then you'll reach a screen - fill the spaces with your e-mail and password, login then
3) chose 'new post'
4) write the post, where you can add pics, films, etc.

If you can't manage, your teachers Judit and Vicki already posted, so I'm sure they will be giving you a closer hand :))

Please, give it another try, everyone is eager to know things about you and your country

Hi everbody!

I'm Vicki, the other Hungarian teacher, and I'm really happy to have found this blog. :)

It looks like we've got a pretty enthusiastic bunch this year. Hopefully the Hungarian students will start blogging more actively, once I give them the blog's address tomorrow at school.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you in January - it's less than 2 months away. :D

I hope everyone has a good evening. :)

Hello!!

Hi people,

My name is Ruben Leston and i'm a member of the "portuguese team". I'm 15 and i live in Sobreda.

I hope this blog becomes very useful and interesting with information and cool pictures. I’m very anxious to know Budapest ;) xd

Well, i'll leave you with a beautifull view of Lisbon at night,
Bye or Viszlát, :)

hello!!!

hello everybody!!!

I'm Rita of portuguese team and i'm very curious about Hungary, so i want to ask you if you could put some photos of hungary?

i be waiting for your post...


kisses

Rita***

Another teacher coming!

Here is another Portuguese teacher speaking(writing...)
I just wanted to say hello to everybody and to congratulate Catharina for her energy.
I'm looking forward to meet the Hungarian Team.

See you

Hello exchangers :)

I'm glad to know that some of you have alredy told something abour yourselves but i'm a bit sad because you guys haven't told nothing about Hungary! But that's ok, because i know you guys aren't that shy, you just don't have time, am I right? ;)

I'm so sweet that i'm gonna put some photos from Portugal and specially from Lisbon.

Carris is a mass public transport company founded on 18 September 1872 and is closely connected to the development of the city of Lisbon. Over time, it has aimed to supply a satisfactory transport service for the resident and floating population. On 17 November 1873, the first line using trams known as “American-style” was officially opened. This linked the North & East Station (Santa Apolónia) with the farthest point west of the Aterro da Boa Vista in the district of Santos. On 31 August, 1901, the Carris tram service was officially opened.

(this is a little intro about the Carris transports :P )

I know you guys are excited to see the sea, so i putted some photos here from the Lisbon shore. It has wonderfull beaches and your exchange parents will certainly take you there :)

Saint George's Castle can be seen from almost everywhere in the city. Its oldest parts date from the 6th century, when it was fortified by the Romans, Visigoths, and eventually the Moors. It served as a Moorish royal residence until Portugal's first king Afonso Henriques captured it in 1147 with the help of northern European crusaders on their way to the Holy Land. It was then dedicated to St. George, the patron saint of England, commemorating the Anglo-Portuguese pact dating from 1371, and became the royal palace until another one (that was destroyed in the Great Earthquake) was built in today's Comercio Square.

So, tell me what you thought about this post. It's a bit long, i'm sorry...

Hope you guys also write something about Hungary! Please, do that :)

kisses,

Catharina

Hello everybody,

I'm Fernando and the portuguese exchangers already know me as I'm a teacher here, although I only teach in regular classes one from the gang. But you, Hungarians, will recognize me in the photo as I'm the only old man with the beard :D

I noticed that our webmaster, Catharina, is improving the layout, so, I leave here some suggestions that in my opinion would make it even better: why don't you Portuguese bloggers use direct posting (log in in with your password and chose 'new post') instead of the commenting option - the case is that a post is more easily read as it shows in the front page of the blog.

And as Portuguese didn't ask anything so far, I will - what about you, Hungarian gang, when can we see your faces and read about you :) ? Judit is the bravest one, but she's already a friend of mine, so I'm still curious about the rest of the group.

C'mon , don't be shy, everybody is welcome here, whatever you want to say.

I am Judit, one of the Hungarian teachers and hope I am the fastest or at least the first Hungarian blogger :))

It is Friday afternoon so have a nice weekend and time for lots of posting!

CONGRATULATIONS exchangers , we have a mutual blog for our exchange available now!

:)

this's the "PORTUGAL TEAM"

we took this photo to show it to the exchangers in Hungary. Hope you can identify your exchange partners and get to know the others ;)

i'll introduce them:



front row, from left to right : Ruben Leston ; teacher Fernando Rebelo

second row, from left to right : teacher Sara Moura ; Raquel Belchior ; Joana Machado ; Mariana Gaspar ; Ana Sofia Barrosa.

Catharina
