I have spent one full week in Genoa, Italy, studying the Italian language and learning about Italian culture. So far this is one of the most wonderful and exciting experiences I have ever had. I love the food. I love the people. I love the stories. I just love everything about this city.
I have made 8 new friends. We are all bonding through this experience. We are learning more and more about each other every day. I hope we all remain friend once we return to Maryland and resume our regular schedules. Maybe we will have dinner once in a while.
My professors are wonderful and I am learning a lot. I hope to have a functional Italian conversation before I leave. Signora Branchiforte and Signora Amedeo (my professors) have different teaching styles, but they are both very helpful in different ways. Signore Branchiforte knows a lot about the history of Genoa. I feel like she knows everything. Whenever we are in a museum or a church she can answer any questions we have. I have seen a lot of Genoa in this first week and I am excited to see more in the coming weeks. This weekend I will take a train to Florence, Italy. I am really excited to see the museums and eat the food.
