Can you imagine yourself spending the evening in an Italian home, chatting in the Italian language you have learned? Italians are famous for their hospitality; they love to talk and share their Italian culture with Italian language learners who visit Italy. You may not be able to tell the difference between an Italian and someone from another country just by looking at them though. Italians will be very curious about where you are from as well. The ability to ask about someone’s nationality in Italian could be the conversation starter you need to make sharing a meal with them a reality! Their Italian hospitality will provide you a closer look at Italy and a chance to immerse yourself in Italian language learning!
