For this program, we are required to take Italian everyday for two months, each month counting as a semester. There are only seven other students in my class and since we're together everyday for three hours, we're all pretty close to each other and our teacher. My favorite teacher was Andrea, who taught us last month. He's so enthusiastic, caring, and helpful, so he made daunting task of learning Italian enjoyable and not so difficult. Andrea is young, not too much older than us, so we could relate to him, and we all had so much fun in class. Unfortunately, everyone switches teachers after the first month, so while our class stayed the same, we no longer have Andrea. We don't see him that much anymore, but on Thursday we went out to an aperitivo with him. I went with Andrea and a few girls from class to Cafe Pompi, a restaurant, bakery, and gelato shop known for its great aperitivos and tiramisu. The aperitivo was delicious, and there was such a big selection of food. There were pasta salads, rice dishes, different types of quiche, various types of bread, tomato pie, and lots of different varieties of salad. It was a filling and delicious meal for only 6 euro. Cafe Pompi claims to have the best tiramisu in Rome, so of course we all had to try it! It was not only the best in Rome, but the best I've ever had! I think we'll all be frequenting Cafe Pompi from now on. The food was delicious and the company was great. It was so nice to catch up with Andrea and go out to dinner as a class. We're planning on making aperitivo with Andrea a regular occurence! Monday, February 28, 2011

Thats so great you go to go out with your Italian teacher. It is such a great oppurtunity to go out with real Italians because that way you can understand the culture here. My only regret being in Rome was not meeting enough of the real Romans. The place you went to eat sounds delicious with so many options. I definitly want to try that place before I return back home.
