Last week, Emily’s Italian Preschool (Asilo) had an open house/tour for next year’s new students. She is so excited to go off to school in September and I think even more so now that she’s seen the school. It looks just like an American preschool inside. All the same toys and activities and artwork, everything is just in Italian. I am slightly nervous about the fact that she speaks no Italian. She does know a few key words but will need to know much more than that to both learn in preschool, and understand what is expected of her there. I am planning on taking Italian myself in the fall once Emily is off to Asilo 5 mornings a week, I will have the free time for tutoring and studying. That way her and I can work on learning it together. As far as heading off to school goes, she will love it. She is very smart and super social and will love playing with other kids and doing fun activities. I just hope she doesn’t get so frustrated by the language barrier that she stops liking it.

Are there other American's in the school? Abbie was in school with Aiden Griffin for a while, but she REALLY picked Italian up fast once it was just her in the school with no other Americans. I'm sure Emily will adapt very quickly!
