THE FRENCH FRIENDS

My school  do a cultural change with the French school every year. This year they came in my class two girl French. They are called Claire and Aude. They will stay in Italy for three months. They live in a family and when they return to France will host an Italian guy for three months, this opportunity help to improve the Italian language. They are 16 years old even if they seem older. At first they were very shy and had a hard time communicating with us and the teachers but now after only two weeks have improved a lot. Even if you have some difficulty with an Italian accent we can understand each other and I'm sure at the end of this experience will be greatly improved their Italian. I think the girls are very courageous because I am not able to go for three months in another state and in a family that did not know because I'm used to a different lifestyle. In addition they need every day to keep up with their classmates and their school because as well as follow our lessons must follow their program in France. So they come to school in the morning and in the afternoon they have to do tasks that were given in France. Sometimes wear strange clothes but the girls are nice and friendly. I think this experience is very important to them and also to us because we can know a new culture and since it I studied French in junior high this is also an opportunity to speak French with them.
