Read the interviews with 3 young trainees coming from MFR Schools in France. They have spent 3 weeks in Varna doing a traineeship at Cafe Ole Varna – part of Lagard Bulgaria.

My name is Colin and I’m 18 years old

Colin made her internship at Cafe Ole Gladstone in Varna.

1. Do you like Varna, and what do you like here?

I really, really like the beach and the sea garden here it’s so sunny and fresh.

2. Did you hear anything about Bulgaria?

Yeah, at my school, I heard that this country has a lot of green places to visit.

3. What was your first impression when you met Bulgarian people

they’re very different from French people, usually when you go to buy something from the shop people on my country are smiling and being so kind, in Bulgaria they look so cold everywhere, but I noticed that when you get to know them they’re actually so nice.

4. What do you want to visit in Varna

My first idea was to visit the beach and the sea garden, and then I will think about to visit some museum.

5. Do you have future plans, after the project?

to continue my study, and after my study, I will travel a lot around Europe to achieve some knowledge and skills.

6. Do you think that you can improve your English just in this period of time?

 I really don’t know, actually I can if I meet more people from different projects
