Vroč poletni veter je nezadržno pihal skozi ozke piranske ulice.
The hot summer wind relentlessly blew through the narrow streets of Piran.
Ljudje so se sprehajali med starimi zgradbami, občudovali čudovite razglede na modro Jadransko morje.
People strolled among the old buildings, admiring the beautiful views of the blue Adriatic Sea.
Po mestu so odmevali veseli glasovi, ko so se turisti in domačini mešali na ulicah.
Joyful voices echoed throughout the town as tourists and locals mingled in the streets.
V enem od starih kamnitih poslopij, kjer so ob oknih plapolale bele zavese, se je zbrala skupina mladih na poletnem jezikovnem taboru, ki ga je pripravljala univerza.
In one of the old stone buildings, where white curtains fluttered by the windows, a group of young people gathered for a summer language camp organized by the university.
V kotu sobe je sedel Miha.
In a corner of the room sat Miha.
Sramežljiv šestnajstletnik, ki se je potil od nervoze.
A shy sixteen-year-old, sweating with nerves.
Pogled mu je begal po ostalih udeležencih, medtem ko je poslušal predstavljanje.
His gaze darted among the other participants while he listened to the introductions.
Ob njem je sedela Tadeja, nasmejana in samozavestna.
Beside him sat Tadeja, smiling and confident.
Njeni dolgi rjavi lasje so se lesketali v soncu, ko je z lahkoto klepetala z drugimi v angleščini.
Her long brown hair glistened in the sun as she chatted effortlessly with others in English.
Miha je želel izboljšati svoj angleški jezik in si pridobiti prijatelja, vsaj enega.
Miha wanted to improve his English and make at least one friend.
Ko pa je poskusil spregovoriti, so se mu besede zataknile v grlu.
But when he tried to speak, the words got stuck in his throat.
Vsakič, ko je hotel nekaj povedati, se mu je zdelo, da so ga drugi gledali in čakali, da se zmoti.
Every time he wanted to say something, it felt like others were watching and waiting for him to make a mistake.
Naslednji dan so organizirali skupinsko vajo.
The next day, a group exercise was organized.
Tema je bila igranje situacij iz vsakdanjega življenja v angleščini.
The theme was role-playing everyday life situations in English.
Miha je čutil, da je zdaj njegova priložnost.
Miha felt this was his chance.
Tiho je zbral pogum in dvignil roko, da bi se pridružil.
Quietly, he gathered his courage and raised his hand to join in.
Srce mu je glasno bilo, ko je stopil na sredino skupine.
His heart pounded loudly as he stepped into the middle of the group.
Ko je prišel njegov trenutek, je Miha okleval.
When his moment came, Miha hesitated.
Zdelo se mu je, da se mu svet vrti.
It seemed like the world was spinning around him.
A nato je zaslišal Tadejin prijazen glas: "Miha, ti to zmoreš!
But then he heard Tadeja's friendly voice: "Miha, you can do this!"
" Z nasmehom ga je spodbudila.
She encouraged him with a smile.
V tistem trenutku je Miha začutil, kako se je val poguma prelomil vanj.
At that moment, Miha felt a wave of courage break over him.
Globoko je vdihnil in spregovoril.
He took a deep breath and spoke.
Besede so mu gladko pritekle z ustnic.
The words flowed smoothly from his lips.
Med vajo se je smejal, govoril, in navduševal ostale.
During the exercise, he laughed, spoke, and impressed the others.
Ko je zaključil, ga je soba napolnila z aplavzom.
When he finished, the room filled with applause.
Tadeja je plosknila najglasneje.
Tadeja clapped the loudest.
Po koncu dneva sta se Miha in Tadeja sprehodila po obali, sonce je že zahajalo.
After the day was over, Miha and Tadeja walked along the coast, the sun already setting.
"Hvala," je tihim glasom rekel Miha.
"Thank you," Miha said in a soft voice.
"Vedno sem tukaj, če potrebuješ prijatelja," je odgovorila Tadeja in ga prijela za roko.
"I'm always here if you need a friend," Tadeja replied, taking his hand.
Tistega večera je Miha sedel na pomolu in opazoval valove, ki so se nežno razbijali ob obalo.
That evening, Miha sat on the pier and watched the waves gently crash against the shore.
Zdelo se mu je, da se je v njem nekaj spremenilo.
It felt like something inside him had changed.
Naslednji teden je na taboru vsak dan vzel novo priložnost.
The following week at the camp, he took a new opportunity every day.
Videlo se je, kako postaja bolj samozavesten, bolj odprt.
It was evident how he was becoming more confident and open.
Letošnji poletni kamp v Piranu se je za Miho končal z novo samozavestjo in iskrenim prijateljstvom.
This year's summer camp in Piran concluded for Miha with new confidence and a sincere friendship.
Njegova pot se je šele začela, a prvi korak je že storil.
His journey was just beginning, but he had already taken the first step.
