She and I were nervous and i had some difficulties about skype while talking... I learned about their education system, conditions about Padova university. I have already known their traditional food.She learned from me about Turkey traditional and our school and university entrance exam and i got some information about their schools system. It was great, thank you very much

Now I know more about skype, Italians, Italy and its education system. I understood that we are not so different. I think It'll be an educative activity for both parties.

I enjoyed this conversation very much. I learned that you are studying French and English literature and French grammer structure is more similar to your own language. I like Mariangela and feel certain that Italians are warm people like us. I am looking forward to our next meeting. Ciao=)

I really enjoyed the conversation. I like Elvira very much. I tried to give her detailed information about Turkish Education System but my fluency wasn't good enough actually. Next time if we have a spesific aim I'll come well prepared. Thank you... Ciao!...

It went very good. For me, meeting with foreign people is very enjoyable and beneficial. My partner has music group and she is a singer of group. We are not different from each other because our cultures are a bit similar. Also, this conversation was very beneficial for my English. Thank you very much:)

I'm really thrilled about this exchange!I learnt something more about their university system and about their daily life in the campus. I'm convinced that these conversations will be very useful to improve our language skills.

It was very exciting!!
At the beginning, I was very frightened: I didin't know what I could say, but then I understood that maybe also my correspondent Ercan could think the same.
So I took courage and we spoke a lot!! My turkisch friend is very nice and friendly =)

It was very nice, and even if sometimes we couldn’t hear very well, it was an interesting and funny conversation! I am not used to this kind of things, so, at the beginning it was quite embarrassing…but I find this kind of experiences very useful and amusing!

I really enjoyed the first exchange and I look forward to the next. This is an exiting experience for me, to speak with an unknown person who is in the same situation in which I am. I’m happy because my partner is very pleasing and patient with me. ;) Beatrice

I love technology that allows us to do this kind of things; however, it would be great a real meeting.... something like an international dinner ^_^.See you soon. Mariangela

I think it was a very interesting experience!!! It is strange to talk with someone we don't know in the flesh, but I believe it is useful to improve our pronunciation and English skills.
