Description
Hi! We are two students from Germany who would like to improve our French skills. We are both studying for a Master's degree in Translation with English and French as our languages. However, we have taken virtually no French courses for some time, so our French is a bit rusty.

We complement each other in some ways, but also have a lot in common.

Maria (23): I come from Poland and grew up bilingual. I am an open-minded and cheerful person who likes to make new contacts. In my free time I do sports and go jogging. My passion is football: I regularly follow the results around this sport and I have already visited some stadiums in Europe.

Nina (25): I tend to be a bit quieter and more reserved, but still always have fun. In my free time I like to listen to music, go to the gym or play some piano. I am also interested in astronomy and motor sports (Formula 1).

We have been living together in a shared flat for a long time and are therefore already a well-rehearsed team in everyday life. Hygiene is very important to both of us and we attach great importance to order. Our favorite activity is traveling. During our studies we both did two semesters abroad - Maria in Cardiff + Bordeaux and Nina on La Réunion + in Ireland. In addition, we like to travel together to other cities and countries. In doing so, we are also very interested in the respective culture of the country or region.

We are always open to new adventures and challenges where we can improve and expand our knowledge and skills.

Nous avons reçu Nina et Maria au mois d’août pour leur 1ère expérience de workawayers et nous en avons été très contents. Elles se sont bien adaptées au rythme des activités et malgré les fortes chaleurs, elles n’ont pas rechigné pour aller travailler au jardin, tout en gardant leur bonne humeur. Elles ont également bien participé aux repas… read more

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Martine, Didier et Audrey ! C'était notre première expérience Workaway et nous sommes heureuses d'avoir été avec eux. Au cours de ces 4 semaines, nous avons non seulement pu enrichir notre vocabulaire français, mais nous avons aussi appris beaucoup de choses sur le jardinage, les plantes et la vie en… read more général ! Nous sommes particulièrement reconnaissants pour les nombreuses conversations intéressantes que nous avons eues ensemble - que ce soit dans le jardin, dans la cuisine ou lors d'une excursion commune. Cela va nous manquer ! Bien que cela ait déjà été mentionné ici par d'autres Workawayers, nous voulons également souligner à quel point chaque repas était délicieux - Martine est une excellente cuisinière ! La patience de Martine, Didier et Audrey à notre égard a également été remarquable. Que ce soit pour des questions de compréhension (français-allemand) ou pour d'autres questions, par exemple sur le jardinage, dont nous n'avions pas beaucoup d'idée auparavant : Tous les trois ont toujours pris le temps et fait l'effort de tout nous expliquer tranquillement.
Dès le début, nous nous sommes sentis totalement à l'aise avec eux et nous ne pouvons que recommander un séjour Workaway chez eux !

Merci beaucoup pour les bons moments, les conversations intéressantes, les délicieux repas et les nombreux souvenirs que nous avons ramenés à la maison ! Nous espérons rester en contact !

We had a great time with Martine, Didier and Audrey! It was our first workaway experience and we are glad we stayed with them. In a total of 4 weeks, we were not only able to expand our French vocabulary, but we also learned a lot about gardening, plants, and life in general! We are especially grateful for all the interesting conversations we had together - whether it was in the garden, in the kitchen, or on a trip together. We will miss that! It has already been mentioned here by other Workawayers, but we also want to highlight how delicious every meal was - Martine is an excellent cook! It was also very remarkable how much patience Martine, Didier and Audrey had with us. Whether it was with comprehension questions (French-German) or with other questions e.g. about gardening, of which we didn't have much idea before: All three of them always took the time and made the effort to explain everything to us in detail.
We felt totally comfortable with them from the beginning and can only highly recommend a workaway stay there!

Thank you for the great time, the interesting conversations, the delicious food and the many wonderful memories we took home with us! We hope to stay in touch!
