Ciao!

Ciao! My name is Candice and I am a college student in the DC metro area spending the semester in Rome! I have had no experience with the Italian language and have never been to Italy! You may be wondering why I chose Rome. Well, my fascination with Rome began as a Latin student. For five years I read everything from the epic Aeneid to Livy's Ab Urbe Condita. Enchanted by its history, I continued to study the Eternal City through its art. Rome is truly the epicenter of my passions: art, history, and food!
In addition, Italian is a language that I have always wanted to learn, but have never had the opportunity to study. I hope that my knowledge of Latin and French will make it easier for me to learn. I can't say that I'm not nervous, but right now writing this blog I think of all the wonderful opportunites and am overwhelmed with excitement! I can't wait to share my experiences with you and be able to say When in Rome...
