I wish my Italian was as good now as it was when I came back. I learned so much, and I was always on buses, journeying to other nearby towns in order to envelope myself in the language and culture...ot was absolutely the best way to learn Italian.

Before I didn't understand a word italian. The first three weeks I followed a language course and there I got to learn the basis. When the exams started I also got to learn 'economic' italian. After I returnd I think I can say that I improved a lot! Now I plan to improve my italian further, after all it's one of the most beautiful languages in the world, isn't it?!
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)

Allthough you not always knwo the right words to use, after a while you'll speak easely and are able to communicate very wel. It helps oof course if you're able to speak other languages allready....

At first it was very difficult, as Arezzo is not a very ´studenty´ town, and so living with other English students, I did not get the chance to practice my Italian properly for some time. However, once I eventually made friends with the locals my level improved dramatically.
I spent a number of years as a child in Italy, Italian is very close to a mother tongue for me. I speak Roman dialect. No-one ever knows I'm American until I tell them.
