Ciao my name is Lisa I'm from Australia and now living in Piedmont Italy with my husband and two children. We have been here a year and a half and I still haven't picked up the language. My daughter is at school and speaking Italian well. I write a blog and we are renovating a house in a borgata in the Alps. I'm learning so that I can speak with friends here, teachers, and just get the chance to chat again. I'm looking for a bit of encouragement and friendships to enable me to practice.
