Where in Italy do you usually go on exchange?

Thinking of going on an exchange to either Italy or Canada where would you go?

• I am from New Zealand Year 11 (15) and would be going either next year or year after so i'd be 16/17. Put into account the fact that I know hardly any Italian. Also which is better for schooling? Or are there any other suggestions as to where another cool place may be. And is italian hard to learn? Thanks for your help :)

• Answer:

  you would gain much more from going to Italy. my sister moved there from the UK years ago and loves their way of life. its very different. they are very warm, friendly and family orientated. the Mediterranean way of life is laid back. you would "grow" a lot more in a different culture. you would be better off learning some basic Italian before you went though.
