My New Friend!

This year my family and I decided of invite an American Girl into our home so that we can be immersed in the English language. We thought that having someone actually from the country, with American experiences of their own, would be the most effective tool for us to finally learn the language.  I really think that this will be a fantastic experience that I always remember. Her name is Leah and she is 18 years old. She is tall, has long,blonde hair, and two beautiful blue eyes. She is very pretty. 

When she was arrived here (on Friday) , I was so happy and excited because I know that with her, my English will become perfect. I am going to an American school this upcoming year...so this is going to be so helpful next year when I have to start taking ALL my classes in English (other than Italian, of course). 

She lives in Miami and coincidentally, this year we are traveling all the way to Miami with my best friend! As a result, this experience is also a great opportunity to get advice from Leah about our itinerary in Miami. She has lived there her whole life. 

When she first arrived we went to the supermarket for to buy things that she likes to eat. For lunch, we went to the restaurant to Lecco and in the afternoon we relaxed because she was tired from her travels.

The next day, we went to Tuscany because my sister spent a holiday with my aunt, my uncle and my cousins at their home in the area. We spend the entire day with my WHOLE family. 

On Sunday we went to Fidenza village in Emilia-Romagna where we were lucky enough to shop and eat! After these two beautiful days spendtin Italy,we returned to Lombardy. 

During the evening, Leah and I started a new TV series in English: Gilmore Girls. We are going to watch a little bit of the show each night (at first with Italian subtitles). Hopefully, sono we will not need the subtitles! 

Now we have started our blog where we will write  daily. We will use to learn, practice, and reflect on our learning. In September, I start International School of Como and I will study ALL my subjects in English. 

In my opinion, this is a fantastic, different way for to learn the language.
