ment of Foreign Languages to meet our American students in the center at via del Pantheon in a safe, encouraging atmosphere.Our marvellous Italian teachers, Barbara and Maurizio, were there to help to facillitate conversation, but after a little while, some good food and drinks, everybody started immediately to talk and practise their Italian and/or their English.
