Default Ciao

Mi Chiamo Stefano. Pratico il mio italiano. Voglio esalare una villa quest'estate ma questa speranza per comprare un appartamento presto.

I live in New York. I used to speak Italian, but am a bit rusty now. I have been practicing a lot lately. I want to visit Italy each year before purchasing a small apartment there. I have also been applying for international positions. You never know....

Hi all.
Nice forum.
My name is Neal, and I will be heading to Italy for the month of June to study Italian.
The reason I'm now on these boards is because I need to rent an apartment for that month and hoped you guys could help.

Hi Neal,
Welcome to the forum. It could also be more helpful for you if you started a thread of your own, introducing yourself.

I believe it is Rome where you want to rent (saw your post on the rental forum), so may be you can get on to the thread here:
http://my.lifeinitaly.com/f67/.

Wish you a happy month in Rome!
