Incontriamo Alessandra
Let’s meet Alessandra

Sono entusiasta di presentarvi Alessandra, che vive a Livorno. L’ho conosciuta diversi anni fa quando l’ho aiutata a trovare una famiglia americana disposta a ospitarla negli Stati Uniti. Cercava un’esperienza di immersione totale per vivere la cultura americana e migliorare il suo inglese.

I’m thrilled to introduce Alessandra, who lives in Livorno. I met her several years ago when I helped her find an American family to host her in the United States. She was seeking a full-immersion experience to live American culture and improve her English.

L’esperienza le è piaciuta così tanto che, tornata in Italia, ha deciso di offrire un’esperienza simile agli studenti di lingua italiana. Ora apre la sua casa agli studenti e li invita a soggiornare con lei e la sua famiglia a Livorno.

She enjoyed the experience so much that upon returning to Italy, she decided to offer a similar opportunity to Italian language students. Now, she opens her home to students, inviting them to stay with her and her family in Livorno.
