MLI places visitors with caring host families to provide students with the best possible experience, as well as provide an incredible opportunity for families to explore new cultures, learn about global issues, and perhaps even a few words in another language without leaving the comforts of home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an absolute pleasure to be able to get to know our visiting students to help ensure an inviting, educational, and valuable experience for all,\u201d said&nbsp;HHS head of school improvement\/student services, Vanessa Taylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TLDSB spoke with the students about their experiences so far at HHS and heard that most chose to complete the exchange program in Ontario, Canada, because they wanted to study English and learn more about the culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taro Ocoyne from Tokyo, Japan, says the thing he misses the most about his home country is the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manami Takeda, also from Tokyo, Japan, says the biggest difference between school here in Ontario compared to school in their home country is that Japanese schools are long vertically, but the school here is long horizontally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carla D&#8217;Angelo from Rome, Italy, says the hardest part about their experience so far has been taking classes in another language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One piece of advice Lara Steyer from Lake Constance, Germany, would give to a current student thinking about taking part in the exchange program would be, \u201cDon\u2019t expect to have an experience that looks like the ones you often see on social media. Living here is so great so don\u2018t waste that by being disappointed about expectations that aren\u2019t met. Everyone\u2019s experience is different. Enjoy your time and try to take every opportunity!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mai Mekata from Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, says the most surprising part of their experience so far is how multinational our schools are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Fenia Fiebranz from Bad Homburg, Germany, said their first impression about Ontario was how cold it was here, but loved their tobogganing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the international student program, visit the&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlihomestay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MLI Homestay website<\/a><\/span>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main photo: International students (from left) Lara Steyer (Germany), Manami Takeda (Japan), Fenia Fiebranz (Germany), Mai Mekata (Japan), and Taro Ocoyne (Japan) recently arrived in Huntsville.
