Here are 8 emails that have been received from students in Hodmezovasarhely. Their teacher, Anna, is a very gifted, qualified and experienced teacher who is able to motivate her students. Through the years Anna and I have team taught these students. For students to write these emails it requires a level of confidence, encouragement and permission to succeed. As volunteers we can be an important catalyst in their learning process and development.
Each student has received an personal response from me.
I hope you will join us in Hodmezovasarhely and contribute to the educational development of the students. I always feel that they “give me so much more than I give them” and being with these students is a very rewarding experience.

Dear Milt!
Hódmezõvásárhely is a beautiful city. Vásárhely is a city with a county right. I think this city is the 2nd largest city in the county. The summer is very hot in the plain but the winter is very-very cold. Hódmezõvásárhely isn't a very exciting city but the park is very quiet and peaceful. There isn't heavy traffic and it's good. The Németh László Grammar and Primary School is the best school in the city (I think). The teachers are very beloved. I love that school.
Dear Milt,
My name is Patrícia and my best friend is Vivien. I'm writing this e-mail with her. How are you today? When are you coming back? In here the weather is very good because the sun is shining. We are looking forward to see you. That's useful for us because it's prove us English. Please write.
Best wishes,
Patrícia and Vivien
Dear Milt,
We are Lili and Berta and we study at Nemeth Laszlo Gimnazium (NLG). We are happy when you visit Vasarhely, because we can practice English talking and we can get to know American habits. We like listening to their stories about their families, their jobs, their hobbies, their pets, because these are very interesting for us and we can tell stories about our things. When you are here, we have a big challenge, because when you talk to me, the teacher doesn't say everything to me in Hungarian so we must understand what you say to us.
Best Wishes,
Lili and Berta
Dear Milt,
My name is Krisztina and my friend is Luca . I'm writing this e-mail with her. How are you today? What's the weather like there? In here the weather is very cool because the sun is shining. The school is very hard and boring. When are you coming back? We are looking forward to seeing you. That's important for us because you improve our English, we learn about your family and your life. Please tell the other volunteers to come to Hodmezovasarhely and enjoy teaching and the swimming pool, the potter house and the spring weather.
Best wishes,
Krisztina and Luca:)
Dear Milt!
I have to say thanks for you, because we could learn hard and boring grammar, but we're now in a IT room. There are a lot of answers for your question but I'll to write short. First and most importantly we can learn English from people who have spoken this language all their lives. It's important, because our pronunciation is very...bad. Second, we can learn interesting things about very different themes. You always tells us about your work, family, and your hobbies, and we're usually very interested. And at least we do not have to learn boring grammar and vocabulary. And well, it's very important for us.

Dear Milt,
We are Zsolti and Miki from Németh László School. We were very happy when we heard that we can write about volunteers. We think that speaking with a foreign volunteer is much better than speaking to a Hungarian teacher because the Americans have much better pronunciation and we can learn many new words as well. It was very great when we spoke about a volunteer's experiences and we got to know a lot about the United States. What is more, the volunteers can see Szeged, a beautiful city in the area, which has a fantastic atmosphere.
Best wishes,
Miki and Zsolti
