More details about my language interests
I love languages and I think it is always better to know some of the local language to better get to know the people. Mothertounge is the easiest way for people to express their natural emotions so I would love to give them oppotunity to show me their real self when I understand their language :) I have a good understanding of gramatics and did some language courses already in my life and I am able to teach the languages I already know.

Feedback and response to Aleksandras review on us:
Aleksandra came to us when planned to complete a mural painting, first of all we want to thank you for taking the time to come and help us. But there are a few things we need to feedback.
First, Aleksandra was asked to come and help us with a wall painting we wanted of sea/beach life at the dive… read more centre, we explained to her what we want, however when she arrived it seemed she wanted to do her own thing. Despite the fact it's our dive centre wall and surely we should be deciding where and what we would like? We didn't want something small like Aleksandra is reporting, we recommended to start something smaller while were waiting for the rest of the wall to be cleared which we think is a very simple request. We're not sure why someone is upset about doing something smaller and doing what the business you are volunteering with are requesting.. We ended up agreeing on something and was waiting to start after a few things were moved out the way and materials were purchased as we have to also liase with the restaurant next to us. For the whole duration Aleksandra received from us breakfast, lunch and a whole house to herself (room, kitchen, bathroom etc) without any problem from our side but she seems to think she didn't receive an exchange from us.
Second, we was unlucky that were was heavy rain in sri lanka and obviously we can't do painting until it stops, Aleksandra told us she had enough time (actually said she could stay for a few months) and could wait a week to start because of rain & some construction starting on the land. We thought she had no problem with this. Aleksandra also said she came to sri lanka just for this exchange, however she was traveling around the country for a few weeks before she arrived so we don't feel comfortable with this comment from her.
While waiting for the painting project to start she would come to the dive centre to have her breakfast and lunch, we would talk with her however we can be very busy at the dive centre, and we couldn't give her the attention she needed as she would come in working, busy hours. When she would have started painting, been busy herself & with us throughout the day, we of course would have been engaging with her more & she would have felt part of the team, spoke to more staff & learn things about the culture. But we are a business & can't be available 24/7 for someone. It felt a lot of pressure to make sure she didn't feel lonely however that's not our job. It comes naturally when with us throughout the day & that would have begun if she stayed. We've never had volunteers feedback this before.
Third, we planned to start on the Monday, and on the Friday Aleksandra text us saying she felt scared at the house because she heard something, we explained that we have staff living there, owners live behind and 4 other girls previously so it is safe. We even asked someone in the house to check for her. She took this upon herself to say she thinks its best to take a flight home the next day, so we respected her decision.
We understand the project was delayed & we apologies for this, but we feel that Aleksandra expected a lot & was very particular about what she wanted to paint even though she was here to help us and our idea. We've had many volunteers and have since had someone to volunteer with us and they've had no problems at all with the project we propose.
