My first trip abroad: London I always spent my holidays around Italy until a few years ago. But it had become boring to visit only my country so I decided to make a study trip in London. I have always heard that it is a very rainy city though I didn't see a single drop of rain during my stay. The college where I stayed was in Leicester and I also visited Birmingham and Nottingham. There is a thing in particular that struck me: there were people with eccentric clothes but no one paid attention to them. So I came home with the desire to be more extravagant. I can imagine the surprised faces of people if I walked on the street with green hair! I was only willing to go back to England... but then I had an insight like a main character during the final scene of a film. I was in the subway and a guy started to play traditional songs of my city and all people in the wagon started to sing with him...the air was full of friendliness. In that moment I understood that I can go anywhere in the world but I will return every time to Naples.

Just a little about me My name is Barbara and I'm an engineering student. I must confess that my relationship with foreign languages it was "complicate" since I was a child. English and french were required until secondary school...it was like a torture for me. I agree with whoever says "you have wasted an opportunity!", but I was too stupid to understand it :). At high school, instead, I fortunatly said "good bye french" but I (unfortunatly) also said "welcome latin". It was a disaster! It was a really huge disaster... However, there is a positive thing: I finally understood how it's important to learn a different language from your. Exepecially if your dream is to travel around the world. What a coincidence, my dream is precisely that! I wish a job that includes occasional business trips because I want to meet people with a different point of view and a different way of thinking (and, obviously, because I want to visit new places). So it isn't wrong says that to learn a new language is more as a means to achieve my dream instead of an hobby or a passion for me. But it's also truth that french and I will never be compatible (unfortunatly), so I place all my trust in english. This is a short presentation about me, so please correct my mistakes (surely numerous) :D P.S: I apologize with french people: you have a beautiful language, but it will never be clear to me...
