The main language spoken here is Italian, but because Florence attracts so many tourists each year, many locals also speak English. This is especially true in the city center, where English proficiency is often required for most jobs.
Italy is part of a big group of countries called the European Union. The countries in this group treat each other like one large family, and they share many things including money. The currency (money) used here is the Euro.
Generally, bottled water is not very expensive in Italy. A bottle of water can cast around 1.5 Euros, which is around 1.60 Dollars.
This week's best meal was a pizza quattro formaggi (four cheeses). I had it for lunch with my friends after class. As a cheese lover, this pizza is the perfect choice for me as it has lots of cheese!
As I am trying to improve my Italian skills, this week I kept listening to Italian classics like Sarà Perchè Ti Amo by Ricchi E Poveri. When trying to learn a new language, listening to music in that language can help a lot.
