No Italian

I came to Italy not knowing any Italian, so I was really curious to know whether or not this trip was a good idea. Turns out I made a good choice because everyone was willing to help me and after only a few days in Rome I had already learned a lot of Italian. I learned to ask questions about every little detail because it helped me advance in my Italian speaking skills. I didn’t always let others speak for me because I knew little, but I asked how to say it and tried myself. This experience has been an amazing adventure/ challenge for me, but there is nothing I would change about it! Take advantage of every opportunity! --Brittni Counts
