With four French friends (Claire, Audray Aline, Alexandre), we are here for 3 months to learn the language and cultures of this great country, that is Italy. I am in Class 3A with Claire, and even though I'm only here for two weeks, I have noticed some differences between France and Italy. Firstly the size of the school. The school A.Einstein is really tiny compared to Palissy, our high school French, or there are 1400 pupils. Then schedule. In Italy, there are courses in the morning while in France we have busier days as we begin to 8h to 18h to finish according to our class. In France we do not have classes on Saturday, and we change every hour class. Compared to the class, I can say that I'm very happy. We were very well received. They are very kind and they help us. We can say that we well integrated. Then there is a good atmosphere in the classroom, it's really nice. I think that the Italians take less head than the French, they are more relaxed and this is what I enjoy most. They are a little crazier than the French, but they have a lot of humor. The only major difficulty is communication because I do not speak Italian, and to learn the lessons it's a little difficult, but I'm getting used to it. Yes, I'm progressing ! And I hope that before long I will be able to hold a normal conversation with an Italian.
