Personal comments
My first language experiences in Italy was pretty good. In Poland I completed a four semester course. Moreover, at the beginning of academic year LUISS organised a intensive language course for all Erasmus students, what helped me a lot in every-day life as well as in communicating with professors.

Personal comments
Coming from an Italian family living outside Italy I was already fluent in the language. Nevertheless during my stay I did improve considerably my Italian. The other exchange students who made an effort in communicating in Italian and followed the appropriate courses improved surprisingly quickly.

The international department were very helpful if i ever needed them (which i'm happy to say wasn't often). The teachers were helpful and sympathetic to our language abilities. In general the italians were very supportive and helpful and encouraged my progress in all aspects of the language.

Personal spending habits
On telephone and travel, the greater expenses are due to the distance from family and friends; international calls and travels being more expensive. My greater expenses on travel are also due to my desire to visit Italy that made me spend several weekends on the road.
