language than Jan had when hea field trip lasting a week which sisters who are looking forward to
first got to Denmark. He
understood "a little," learned
from his father who came from
Denmark, but he said it was about
six months before he really
caught on to the language and felt
he could understand everything
being said and could converse
intelligently in Danish. Marie had
had an American friend last year
from whom she had learned some
English, including many slang
expressions.
While in Denmark Jan took a
c om b i n a t i on chemistry-physics
course, biology, world history,
religion, English, German, Danish,
woodshop, a combination
algebra-geometry-math course and
P.E. He also attended a third
grade Danish class on the side to
help him pick up the language.
The English class was strictly
British English and when he
pronounced words in American
English he was corrected; for
instance, the word "either", he
was corrected when he
pronounced it "'eether,'" it had to
be "eye-ther." "Command" was
wrong when pronounced in the
American manner, he was
corrected to "commond." He said
he noted several instances when
the teacher pronounced words
incorrectly, even from a British
his class took to a school in
northern Denmark. They took
bicycles along and spent the week
riding through little towns
sightseeing. At this time he still
had not learned to write in Danish
so he got out of all the written
reports on different aspects of the
trip which the others had to do;
he just had fun.
Girls in both Sweden and
Denmark are more likely to wear
pants to school than a skirt. In
fact, Jan said, he met several
Danish girls who didn't own a
skirt.
He didn't notice too many
differences between an American
school and a Danish one, but felt
there was a better attitude
between students in Denmark. He
saw no teasing or bullying, no
fights between students, more
freedom due to "not so many
little rules" and said it seemed
like everyone was included in
everything in a classroom. There
seemed to be no discipline
problems at all, perhaps due to
the fact that students are treated
more as adults than children, and
proper behavior is taken for
granted. He found no trouble
making friends except for the
language barrier at first, but said
he was completely accepted right
coming to visit their American
relatives in Belfair when they are
older.
Jan, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Jorgen Mathiason of Tiger Lake,
has a sister, Brita, 9, who is going
to stay with Marie's family in
Sweden when she is 13. Jan's
father is from Denmark, his
mother from Sweden. They came
to America in 1954.
It's a lot easier to leave
America and attend school for a
year in Denmark than it is to
enter America for a year of
school. When Jan decided to go,
his father wrote a letter asking if
he could attend school for a year
and he received a reply saying he
could and that was that. Marie,
making the opposite request, had
reams and reams of forms to fill
out before she obtained her visa,
which is good for one year.
As far as is known, Marie is
North Mason's second foreign
student. Several years ago a
Mexican student lived with the
Superintendent of Schools and
attended school in Belfair.
Marie promised to drop into
the Herald office in June before
she leaves for home to give her
impressions of life in Belfair. By
then she hopes to be speaking
English like a native.
