benefits for all

Why it works:

It is easy to break the ice and get to know each other when there is a strong common interest in having a mutual linguistic and cultural exchange. Being in a family context will facilitate this!

This is Veronica, a mum in Bologna: she had dinner with Miyu from Japan 🇯🇵

"It was really nice to talk to her about her origins, the "simplicity" of Japanese writing and the colourful customs of our country. Seeing my kids talking to her in English as if she were a friend they had known for a long time helped us to understand how many possibilities there are for so many young people today, and how simple it can be to seize them!"

Here is Rohit, a student from Pakistan: he had dinner with Debora and her family🇮🇹

"It was a really amazing experience, because I could practice my English and Italian skills, learn a lot of typical dishes, talk about the Italian culture and show them my culture as well."
