Cultural exchange at a heritage site with ecological projects in Oederan, Germany

  Description

  We are living in an old farmhouse under monumental protection from 19th century. 20 years ago we startet reconstructing the building with ecological and historical methods. Meaning we used mud and wood to refill the timber framework, boarded the floor, painted the house with limewash coat and so on. In one quarter of the house we operate a holiday apartment.
  Additionally our property is big so there is also a lot of gardening to do.
  Some years ago we bought a second house in the nearest town which we reconstruct on our own as well.
  Since our 3 older children moved out for their studies in the past years, only my husband, our youngest daughter (15 years old) and I (Pia) are remaining in the house.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You can learn a lot about bioconstruction and construction work in general. We do have sheep and ducks - if you like you can find out whether fresh duck eggs taste different from chicken eggs :-).

  Aide

  The help required can be very different and is also depending on the season and the duration of your stay.
  Required help can be:
  - cut glas and putty windows
  - harl and paint walls (inside and ouside)
  - install bathrooms
  - cut and chop wood
  - collect apples and other fruits
  Actually for the "new" house we still need to do every step of construction which brings you from a ruin to a house in the upper floors.

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  🇬🇧 We love exchanging languages, but we have some specific criteria to make it mutually beneficial: Learning German with us: We are happy to explain German sentence structure and subtle word meanings. However, you must already have solid intermediate skills. We cannot teach absolute beginners from scratch. What we are looking for: In return, we want to practice and polish our own language skills. Therefore, we are primarily looking for native speakers (or equivalent) who enjoy explaining vocabulary during daily life. 🇩🇪 Wir lieben den sprachlichen Austausch, haben hierbei aber klare Vorstellungen: Deutsch lernen bei uns: Wir erklären dir gerne den deutschen Satzbau oder subtile Wortbedeutungen. Allerdings setzt dies solide Grundkenntnisse voraus. Wir sind keine Sprachschule und können nicht bei „Null“ anfangen. Was wir suchen: Wir möchten im Gegenzug unsere eigenen Sprachkenntnisse verbessern. Daher freuen wir uns über Muttersprachler, die uns Vokabeln im Alltag richtig erklären können.

  Hébergement

  We have 3 rooms in which we can accomondate our workawayers in beds (blankets and so on can be provided). It does depend on the number of workawayers staying with us whether we can provide you a single room or you need to share it with others. Note that the sleeping rooms can be unusual cold in winter, spring and autumn.
  We will do all the shopping for the food, but it would be nice if workawayers prepare the food from time to time. Mostly we do eat vegetarian! We are used to spend cooked dinner together, while everybody eats bread for breakfast and lunch at their prefered time.
