"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!"

"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."
Have dinner with your family
An excellent opportunity for cultural exchange and language practice, while giving a student away from home a sense of warmth and family.
It seems to be difficult to get to know the real Bologna being an Erasmus student. I am very interested in seeing how a real Bolognese family lives.
I am spending most of the time at school, speaking English and surrounded by americans. There are days I forget that I live in Italy, because I do not get to interact to any Italians.
DineHome is a wonderful idea to get in touch with the Italian language, food and culture and there is no better way to get to know it than with an Italian family.
Such a great first-hand experience. My host family was so kind and open to meeting me. Every dinner has been a great experience!
We think it is useful for the student to feel at home in a country that is not their own and for us adults, but especially for our son, to experience globalisation in practice.
We started with the aim of practising English and it has also become a valuable cultural exchange.
It's a great opportunity to practice Italian in a nice, homey atmosphere and learn more about Italian culture from a family.
As an international student in Bologna it is easy to rest inside the "Erasmus bubble" and lose any contact to locals. I am a curious person, always looking for new experiences and adventures.
It is an exciting experience that brings the world home to you.
To keep my German language skills fluent and at the same time help those who are away from home to feel at home, as I would like it to happen to me if I were alone in another country.
This is the special and very good service and opportunity to spend time with Italian families offered be Dinehome.
