Come ti chiami? What's your name?


When you are studying a foreign language it is very important to practice it with native people, but it is not so easy to meet them, but not here at the Pantheon Institute! Some Italian students were invited to meet our students and practice together Italian and English.

It is not the first time that the Pantheon Institute has organized an event like this and after the successful experiences of last years, we decided to repeat this experience again.

The Italian students were from “Roma Tre” University, studying Foreign Languages, so the Italian and the American guys had the same objective: practice a foreign language and, why not, make new friends!

After a short introduction by Linda, the Student Service Coordinator, the American and the Italian students started immediately to chat and it didn’t matter if they made some mistakes, also because a language exchange does not include fixed rules, people can talk about whatever they want!

They spent a couple of hours together and they also had a light buffet. At the end they exchanged their contacts, so they could keep in touch and continue practicing Italian or English.

We hope to repeat these meetings between Italian and American students also in the next semesters because this is a great opportunity for our students, not only to practice the language they are studying, but also to learn more about Italian culture and customs from Italian young people.
