What Italy and the erasmus project gave me: First of all, my ideals have grown so much that I would love to live abroad. I learned a few words in Italian and taught Turkish words to my foreign friends (especially to Luis’ mother because her mother loves Turks, watches TV series, researches her culture) The contribution of this trip to my English was great. It improved me a lot in terms of vocabulary, sentence formation and speaking. We had good conversations because the English of the family and friends I went to was very good. We got to know European culture there. We experienced their cultures (eating, drinking, traveling, living, architecture, learning styles at school, clothing styles). We also told them about our own culture. I cooked frothy Turkish Coffee in a copper pot for Luis and his mother and served Turkish delight with a copper cup set. I also taught Luis’ mother how to make Turkish coffee. I loved that they wanted to get to know the Turks. We introduced and taught our cultures to each other. Overall, this trip has been very beneficial for me.
