Loving Italy

        Last Saturday I did my first dance performance since I got here. It felt very good, the dance team I joined is great and the girl are very sweet! Also my dance teacher took me with her to the studio that she takes classes, is in Conegliano in a studio called dance city. The class was great, is completely different from all I ever done, but is always good to do something new!

        At school things are going so good! I already feel very comfortable with my classmates they are really fun people! My Italian is getting better and better, sometimes I even think and dream in Italian! My family is more than great! I could not be happier, my host sister and I have a lot I fun together! I get along well with all of them. 

        Homesickness has not hit me yet, I think is just because everything is so new and interesting that it keeps my mind busy. Also the weather is so much better, is like sunny everyday, my hair is really thankful that the humidity is gone! Over all, so far it has been a great experience, but is going too fast!!!!

Almost a month!

          It's been almost a month since I got here. In a way it seems like more, just because I grew so close to my host family, but also seems like was yesterday I left Brazil! This is going way too fast, I just want to take all the days that passed and relive them all over again! I'm already sad for leaving!

         Well about the language, I'm not gonna lie, it can get a little frustrating sometimes, because I just wanna have a long and nice conversation with people, with out having to worry if I'm going to be able to answer the next question... but is becoming more often the times that I accomplish to have a nice conversation with people. Is so rewarding,  makes me feel really good! I know I still have A LOT to learn, but I can tell my Italian is getting there! 

          I'm slowly starting to participate more at school. I'm begging to read a few things in Italian out loud for the class and also starting to do group work. When my classmates take tests I usually bring my novel in Italian and dictionary. This way I study the novel and translate all the words I don't know, which I think is really helping me. 

          Dance is going great! I love my teacher, she has that tought love style that I think is gonna help me improve. Here at this reagion, modern dance is a really big thing. Is not normally what I do, but I'm always up to learn something new.
