(This is Tina of expatsinitaly) I think Verona is absolutely beautiful, and it's easy to get from there to Padova, which is even cooler! Congrats on your upcoming move. :-) Baci/Besos Tina I’m just catching up on your blog now after a few months. (This is Tina of expatsinitaly)

My dad was attending the NATO Defense College. I was in college in Germany at the time, but when I came home for visits, I found Mostacciano very blah! We would take the bus into the historical center of Rome almost every day and I would LIVE for that...!

How is everything going over there in Roma before the move? I went to Rome in January, and had an unbelievable time! I absolutely loved it! I don’t speak Italian myself, but could understand a lot because of my knowledge in Spanish. How are you doing with your Italian? It takes a lot of time, patience, and just plain mistake making to be anywhere near fluent! Don’t worry! Are you still taking Italian classes? In addition to classes I suggest listening to a lot of Italian music, playing video games in Italian, and buying an Italian reader- a great book with a short story followed by questions & answers-. These things all helped me a great deal with my Spanish while I was in Spain. When I first got there I have to admit, I was a little overwhelmed, every sentence in Spanish sounded so fast, and my high school Spanish didn’t help me out as much as I thought! I just kept telling myself that it would get easier, and it sure did! It doesn’t matter what length of time it takes to learn the language… as long as you keep practicing, it will come! Good luck! Hi Jessica!
