There is a definite struggle to learning Italian or any other new language. This is of course obvious to many of us. But when you mix in the opportunity to be in a city with so much to do and see such as Rome it can be extremely difficult. This is my struggle at the moment. First I was trying to be a good student and not see much but now I want to see as much as I can.
When you are abroad and trying to learn another language this is osmething you are also going to experience as well. You really have to learn how to perform good time management. Many of my fellow students are adults so they are very good at managing themselves and how they practice their Italian.
I know I have improved but I have to ask myself if I have improved as much as I could have with the opportunities of seeing all of these great monuments and sights. What I am saying is take advantage of the city but do not forget your purpose in being here. My purpose was to learn Italian and that is what I am doing. I guess it has all to do with how you spend your free time as well as your time in class. If you can spend your free time also learning Italian I am sure you are going to be get the most out of this experience. Well that is what I for today. Back to studying. Ciao.
