Welcome message from Alice

Hi everyone! I’m Alice and this is my first experience with the so called blogosphere. I’m not actually very fond of technology so you all have to be patient of my silly tech-mistakes.

I’m doing my specialistica in foreign languages (English and German trying to learn Dutch too!) at the University of Padova while I’ve done my triennale at the University of Verona. Two summers in a row I worked in a Campsite on Lake Garda where I got in touch with a lot people coming from all over the world. I’m very interested in how languages are used by native speakers, in how dialects survive within the local communities and in how non-native speakers succeed in learning foreign languages.

In my spare time I like doing sports: I play volleyball twice or three times a week, I cycle nearby and I’ve only recently begun to be crazy about mountain bike. I love going to the cinema while I don’t watch so much TV, I just enjoy myself in watching the TV program Che tempo che fa.

I’m really looking forward to better understand how blogs work and in which ways they may help human beings in their lives and relationships. So it comes now the time to… BLOG!

I hope we’ll have a great time together ;-)

Alice
