Since I didnt speak a word of Italian when I got here the first few weeks were a bit frustrating and quite many do not speak any english. But with improving language skills life became more easy and more fun here.

I learned a lot in the 5 months that I lived in Italy, easier that I thought at the beginning.This happened because of my mothertongue, which is very similar to Italian.
