Marta from Italy spent 3 months in Germany.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was in Germany as an exchange student for three months, a short but intense experience that allowed me to grow and learn a lot. I chose to do this experience because I wanted to test myself, get out of my comfort zone and discover a new culture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why Germany<\/h2>\n

I chose Germany because I am fascinated by its culture, history, and language. I also wanted to improve my German and immerse myself in a completely different school environment.<\/p>\n

School and friends<\/h2>\n

At school, I always had a lot of fun. At first, I was a little lost, but the teachers and students were very welcoming.<\/p>\n

It was a bit difficult at first, mostly because of the language, but I found that being curious and showing enthusiasm helped me a lot. Over time I have been able to make friends that I hope will last forever.<\/p>\n

Living with a host family<\/h2>\n

Living with my host family was wonderful. They made me feel at home from day one and helped me through the initial difficulties. I loved the time I spent with them and we still stay in touch even after my departure. The best thing was their availability and warmth. They made me feel part of the family and taught me a lot about German culture, from traditions to small everyday habits.<\/p>\n

A funny memory was when I tried to cook a typical dish of my country for my host family. It didn\u2019t come out exactly as I had hoped, but we laughed a lot and in the end, it was a very nice moment of sharing.<\/p>\n

What I learned and what the exchange gave me<\/h2>\n
