nothing to show off her body.. boyz might try and check the weather if its winter make sure she gets a warm jacket and socks.
2 :
jeans
3 :
Layered clothes so she can accomodate cool or warm weather. When entereing churches she must be in modest clothing (no bared shoulders or miniskirts). Comfortable shoes are a MUST. Have her hold back on packing a ton of clothes- pack only a few main items (slacks, dress, skirt) and a variety of nice t-shirts/tops. Throw in a sweater or hoodie, and a light to moderate weight jacket. It could still be quite cool in April so it wouldn't hurt to bring a hat and gloves/scarf. Something bright and fun and fashionable. My daughter wore a bright green jacket all through Rome... whenever she wears it now she always thinks of that trip. If you want more specific ideas feel free to contact me.

Italians are far more into fashion than Americanss. They tend to wear a dark color withsplashess of color. They tend to generally be more conservative in their dress also. Especially in the early evening when walking around town one should try to show off their fashion style. Jeans are now quite acceptable, but not worn or with holes as many teens wear in the U.S. April can range from quite warm to quite cool so the layering suggestion is a good one. It also depends where she will be visiting as there are drastic climate differences in Italy just like in the US with the Alps on the north and theMediterraneann to the south.

I was there in April of '08. Rome was nice and warm 70-80. Florence rained. A light coat and comfortable shoes for doing a lot of walking are mandatory.
6 :
clothes that wont make her feel hot

april in napoli can be fairly hot especially pompeii. comfortable shoes, don't wear flip flops or high heals, are a must for pompeii as the site is massive and the roads are very uneven.. visited pompeii this april, it's only and hour and a half away from where i live, and it was very hot don't forget suncream

Hi, I went to Rome in April and Venice in July this year. I went to Rome towards the end of April for a long weekend and it was warm. I wore three quarter length jeans, vest tops, I also wore a denim skirt and loose fiited long trousers. Generally the majority of people wore jeans or long trousers as it is a city break people are sight seeing, walking and exploring. I did get slightly burned on my shoulders though so if she is exposing skin and it is warm don't be deceived and why sun cream. I wore a long top and long trousers when I visited the Vatican Museum. It is largely dependent on the weather at that time so maybe closer to check the weather report over the internet, Hope this helps!

I am italian and live in Florence.. April is mild but I would bring some long sleeves T-shirts as well and also a jacket as nites are still cold.. bring a raincoat since it rains a lot during that month.. around 1 or 2 pm it can get very hot so tell her to bring some short sleeves t-shirt as well... it is the same all over italy more or less...
10 :
In april in italy it's not that cold, but it varies very much! so she should bring different kind of clothes... mainly t shirts and sweaters, then jeans are very usefull! oh I also suggest a warmer coat for the evening... if it rains it can be a little cold! hope she's lucky and she finds good weather... if it's sunny she would be able to wear not heavy clothes... how do you say not heavy clothes??? sorry I'm italian!!

would it be hard for an american female to become an english school teacher in ITALY

would it be hard for an american female to become an english school teacher in ITALY?
I'm in my senior year of high school and I just recently spent my Summer in Italy. I love it there. My dream it to learn it fluently so I can be a foreign language teacher in an elementary, middle, or high school. How difficult would it be to get a job? what kind of other qualifications to u need? do teachers in italy make good money? Anything you know would help. thanks :)

it probably wouldn't be that easy. but i'd say it shouldn't be THAT hard.i don't know if they would make good money though...
2 :
i don't think it's difficult for you to work there,being an american you will be welcomed by everybody base to past history. but talking of salary they get paid in euros, and more likely it would more or less like the States. not how to get the job, then you might encounter problems since europe like the states is in recession and bad. if you require high salary i doubt you will get but have a try, everything is possible. if italy gives change to those people who are dying of hunger in their country why not people who has a good reputation!

I wanted to do this myself (i.e. teaching English in Italy), but didn't end up doing it for a variety of personal reasons. But the advice that was given to me, and it was advice that made sense to me, was/is (and this advice came from both Italians and Americans who lived in Italy): 1. Teachers don't make a lot, and in fact it's hard to live well on what you would get paid for being an English teacher. You would probably need to have roommates and keep costs low. You can make extra money doing tutoring on the side. 2. You don't need to speak Italian; they want people who speak English natively, and that's the only qualification you need. But you will learn fluent Italian if you live there. 3. English teachers are highly in demand in Italy. Everywhere. 4. Just do it. You are young and it will only get harder later in life. Living in a foreign country will change your life immensely for the better, at least from a personal growth standpoint. I have known a lot of people who have done this, and all of them have said their time abroad was the best time of their life (including Europeans and Asians whose time "abroad" was in the USA).
