Since I was born, I never had French friends, but this year have known two French girls: Claire Stynen and Aude Gozzini. Both of them are nice and very friendly, but I think Aude is a bit shy too.

Claire Stynen is tall, she has blond hair and she has German origins; Aude Gozzini is tall as Claire, but she has brown hair and she has Italian origins.

When I saw them the first month, I thought of not being able to start new friendships, but I was wrong : indeed, I started to help them and I started to talk a little more with Claire, because she is the nearest classmate to me.

In the first place, we could not communicate a lot, because I could only speak Italian and them only French but after we started to talk in English and things went better.

She explained me the French school system is totally different from Italian school system and in which aspects it is different from the Italian one.

Talking with them, I have learned a lot of French words and sentences (because I have never learned French at middle school and instead of studying French I studied German) and new things, not only about France or, generally, about school.

I tried to help them, in the first place with Italian words and sentences, and after I have helped Claire, who refers everything to Aude, with the other school subjects, like Maths and Philosophy, and I have been trying to answer their questions.
