Faroese student studying at Crestview High
For many exchange students in the United States, the quirks of American English sometimes present a challenge that fortunately, is often overcome by Americans’ eagerness to make a foreign guest feel welcome. Elin Olsen, however, speaks such excellent, American-accented English that she was mistaken by her classmates at Crestview High School for another native newcomer in town.
A tall, slim, blonde from the Faroe Islands, Elin is this year’s Rotary International exchange student, and her yearlong Crestview visit is also her first trip to the United States. The Rotary lets exchange students select the country of their choice in which to study, though the region or city where the student is placed is often up to the program organizers.
“I just chose America, and they placed me here, which is cool,” Elin said.
Elin’s fluency in English helped her ace the 145-question language proficiency test required by the Okaloosa County School District. Though English is taught in Faroese schools, it’s actually her third language after Faroese, a Norse language close to Icelandic, and Danish.
