"Finance is the only reason you choose to study abroad?" I didn't say so.

Any other reason?

Many lifelong friendships begin in college and you'll be able to learn, live and travel together during your studies.

I just graduated last month.
35
Do you come back home to work?

No, I'm going back to Italy to work for a few years.
37
Why do you want to work there?
38
The main reason for getting the degree in the first place was to improve my career prospects.

Will studying in another country make it easier for me to find a job?
40
In a well -connected world, employers increasingly value graduates with international education and experience.
41
What do modern businesses look for in international students?

appreciate other cultures, overcome the challenges of living in another country, and learn more about the world.

I studied Italian all through high school.
52
You studied diligently.
53
The main purpose of learning a language is to apply for a scholarship.
54
Why don't you apply for university in Italian?
55
At that time, I was still not confident with my Italian.
56
- Thank you.
57
It will be quite difficult but will help you get better at the language.
58
I have had many opportunities to study languages outside of the university.
59
Besides that, I want to focus on my major.
60
Why didn't you choose a university in your home country when you wanted to focus on your major?
61
and It is true that there are many good schools in my country, but my major in Italy is more appreciated.
62
What is your major?
63
I studied fashion design.
64
Surely, you've had plenty of opportunities to practice while studying.

Many interesting benefits but I always fear is a challenge.
67
There are unique challenges, but it's all part of the experience and the fun.
68
I get a little nervous when I think about going to a strange place.
69
It is completely natural to be nervous before leaving your home country to live and study in a faraway country.
70
How do you get over that fear?
71
I have had invaluable experiences when I stepped out of my comfort zone.
72
Just that, "I can do anything." Is there anything else that appeals to you when you think about studying abroad? is food.
73
I've enjoyed Italian food.
74
I also love pasta.
75
While living in Italy, I got to listen to traditional music, have a go at local activities,
76
and discover everything else that the host country has to offer.
77
It's exciting to meet people who have grown up in a different culture.
78
You can learn a lot about yourself and your home country by seeing your own culture through the eyes of others.
79
Thank you being immersed in a totally different environment can also be good for us.
80
This enriching experience not only allows you to see and do things you wouldn't expect but also helps you become more independent.
81
Going to university is when we are truly independent from our parents and family.
82
Yes, and especially true when we go to university in another country.
83
Being independent is a challenge in itself.
84
Studying and living in a foreign country will help shape you into an independent and adventurous adult.
85
That helps you ready to succeed in your future career.
86
It also makes you see things from another point of view, making more rounded and open -minded person.

93
The first difficulty I encountered was homesickness.
94
Although, studying in the country, being away from home must have been a difficulty.
95
Being halfway around the world, in a country different from your home country, will make you miss home even more.
96
Going home during the holidays or weekends becomes more difficult.
97
It will come and go anyway, so don't worry too much about homesickness.
98
What about the cost of studying abroad?
99
Usually, tuition fees will be higher for international students.
100
If I apply for a scholarship, I won't have to worry about the costs.
101
you will incur a large moving cost.
102
Do I have easy access to student loans?
103
You may not be entitled to the same student loans you would get back at home.
104
Culture shocks, language barriers, or long flights that may require connecting flights, or layovers are also things that worry me.
105
Don't let disadvantages make you have to make an important decision in life that will bring you many benefits.
106
You are very right.
107
Many disadvantages are easily overcome.

  • Pratica lo shadow speech ripetendo ogni frase un paio di volte, cercando di imitare la pronuncia e il ritmo.
  • Fai attenzione ai diversi accenti e alle espressioni utilizzate per descrivere esperienze di studio.
  • Incorpora nuovi vocaboli mentre parli di esperienze personali o di desideri di studio all'estero.
  • Registrati mentre pratichi; riascoltare la tua voce può aiutarti a notare dettagli che potresti migliorare.

Ricorda che una pratica costante ti porterà a risultati migliori e a una maggiore fiducia nelle conversazioni in inglese. Immergiti completamente in queste esperienze e sfrutta ogni opportunità per migliorare la pronuncia inglese attraverso la pratica.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
