I found a program, easygo languages, that allows you to go to a country and learn the language in a school. I am going to Florence Italy, and the school is called scuola Leonardo Da Vinci... I was wondering if anyone has heard of it? or knows information about it?! Also, i dont speak any Italian...how hard is it going to be for me to survive over there with the language barrier. Haha..My heritage is Italian and i look it, so i am afraid people might just start talking to me in Italian Last, i am a 19 year old girl, and wondering about the night life? What is it like in Florence?

Hi! I'm italian =) And like all I don't speak english very well. If you want come here, in Italy don't expect what the people know english... maybe the turist guide, maybe the retailes, because Florence is a turist city. If you want come in Italy you should start to study italian, at least a little. But... maybe in the university you can speak english and you can find students who understand you! On the last question: I don't know. I live near Milan and I visited Florence only once. But... Florence is a big city, whit many joung people... don't worry about the night life, there is certainly (disco-bar, theatres, events, concerts). About that, you will ask at the other students =) It's an easy part of your travel!

hi i'm from florence....(good choice, it's a wonderful city) but are you talking about the Leonardo Da Vinci, Liceo Scientifico, or a language school???? If it's the Liceo scientifico, i can tell you that it's a very beautiful, large (most of the schools placed in the center of the city are old buildings: mine was an old moneastery, with really tiny and low rooms) and technological school (there are many computer rooms, there's even a pool)....My brother goes there, and he really loves it. For the language, dont worry: english is the only language we study (even if some classes study spanish or french or german), so if you find someone who doesnt understand you, it will mean he doesnt study enough... :-D Please, don't think you can look like an italian girl!!! It's not true that all we have dark hair and skin, it's a prejudice that american people have, because they see all of those mafia movies. It's true, the imagine of the boss of the mafia is with dark hair and bronzed skin but we're not like that.. We can have blonde hair, or dark hair, or red hair, and most of the people have so pale skin, that they go tanning... The night life, then, is spectacular, most of all in the winter, cause many discos are closed,in the summer. The discos i prefer are Tenax (amazing on friday and wednesday), YAB acronym of (You Are Beautiful),and Meccanò.... If you dont like going to the clubs, you can go to bars wich we call "pubs", (we call "bar" the cafeteria). At night, oeople use to go to the storical center of Florence (where there are the most expensive and the coolest shops), eating in the restaurant and drinking in the pubs... i can give you a little advice. When i hang out with my girls, i use to go to Savonarola Square (Piazza Savonarola), where there's a little (i dont know how to say) stand wich prepares cocktails and sells beers and other drinks.. It's full of young people (when i go there, i always find all of my high school friends), from 15years old to 21-22 years old. And, before going drinking, we use to go eating a pizza to the Edi restaurant. Or, maybe, if you prefere, you can go to Santa Croce square, or on the Lungarno (it's the street long the Arno river, with all the bridges): there are many pubs and bar wich prepare the "aperitivo", the happy hour (you pay fot the drinks, and eat anything you want)-- Try to have fun and make new friends..... EVERYONE, in Italy, would like to go to America, so they will make you a lot of questions, they will try to be friends with you....well, let them!!!!! You have to make a lot of friends, so you will have a very good time!!! byeeeee (sorry about my english!!!)
