Hello again everybody! So I am so excited for the first time of my Erasmus Programme in Italy because I have always dreamed about it. Firstly I finished all the paperwork and exams to start this journey from the very beginning and thanks to my teacher we had everything done shortly then visa adventure had started. After I got my visa I begun to watch, learn and set up my luggages, tickets and stuff. When I found out that Italy is so warm and culturally similar to my own nationality reliefed me more because I won't have tough time to feel myself like I'm home!

I will be working as an English Teacher Asisstant in Italy with a Prof. academist. Why Italy ? Because I love Italian Language and I always wanted to see there!

And yes! I will learn the local language to feel like an Italian which also benefits my job!

Lastly, I'd love to meet and get advises from the community! Or even someone from Pisa ? Any one thinking to be a tour guide for me ? Haha :D

Hiya Can!

Did you know that some members are creating new posts in the "Ask the Community" Forum specific to where they'll be going? Since you wish to connect with friendly people in Italy, maybe you can create a thread to invite people to meet up with you.

Hello everyone. This is Jahid from Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, Latvia. I just have done my summer internship and am getting ready to go to my exchange semester to Barcelona. It is super excited for me as it is my first time going to Spain.

I was thinking for a long time to learn Spanish while I will be studying in Barcelona, so I may take a basic Spanish class.
