New! Homestay Language Vacation with Emma in Rome

Vorrei presentarvi la mia amica Emma che è un’insegnate di lingua italiana che vive a Roma. Ho avuto l’opportunità di incontrare Emma l’anno scorso a Roma e insieme abbiamo esplorato il ghetto romano e poi abbiamo cenato in una deliziosa trattoria. Quella sera abbiamo cenato su carciofi, pasta alla carbonara e abbiamo bevuto un ottimo vino rosso. Mentre mangiavamo, il proprietario del ristorante sedeva ad una tavolo vicino a noi a sbucciare scatole di carciofi e di tanto in tanto si univa alla nostra conversazione.

I would like to present my friend Emma who is an Italian language teacher who lives in Rome. I had the opportunity to meet up with Emma last year in Rome and together we explored the Roman ghetto and later had a dinner in a delightful trattoria. That evening we dined on artichokes, pasta carbonara and drank a very good red wine. As we ate, the restaurant owner sat at a table near-by peeling crates and crates of artichokes and he happily joined in our conversation from time to time.

Emma è aperta ed entusiasta e adesso sta aprendo la sua casa agli studenti che vogliono immergere nella lingua e la cultura. Se fate un Homestay con lei, non solo imparerete l’italiano, ma vedrete un lato vivace di Roma che tanti turisti non vedono mai.
