Almut’s first impression of Langley was gener¬ ally clouded by the total confusion of being in a new situation and a new school. She finds Langley very interesting — more specifically, she finds the people interesting. However, she senses a lack of warmth . . . that impersonal feeling which is gen¬ erally associated with Langley. Almut is impressed with the teachers at Langley, many of whom she calls outstanding.” She does note, however, a cer¬ tain absence of trust between teachers and students. Almut enjoys reading, and the theater, and is also a tennis enthusiast. German students are required to learn English, but she is also studying French and Latin. One of Almut’s main goals as an AFS stu¬ dent is to learn to speak the English language more fluently. She feels that through understanding the language she can understand our people and culture more completely. Almut cuts classes to make a phone call. khwub: Ouzo Q uyubiv fl!FQ Ctudeicb Enjoying the American outdoors. 18
