Sightseeing in Italy: Venice

A short travel around the world

My name is Maria N. Selina, I am 22 and together with my family I have seen a lot of different places. Among others I have been to Greece, France, England, Turkey, Italy, Dominican Republic, Thailand and Denmark. Right now I stay in Liverpool, a small lovely city with the most beautiful library I have ever seen. Right now I am doing an internship at Hola People! Manchester is nearby but not as beautiful as this little town that easily feels like home.

 

Italy

Murano and it's Beautiful housesI have also been to Italy two or three times, Italy is one of the countries I love the most. With a camper, we went down all the way down to the “shoe” of Italy and the way up again. I have seen Venedig. A city that I liked but it is a very crowded place, nearby you can visit Murano. This a truly amazing place, instead of going to Venedig you should visit Murano, it looks the way you expect Venedig to look like and is not as crowded as Venedig.

I have seen a lot “must see’s” in Italy, but you can read about them anywhere on the internet. I have some places you should definitely see that maybe you did not know About.Pompeji, the city that got fired by the Vesuv - history The first one is quite popular but not as much known as the Colosseum, the place I am talking about is Pompeji. The city got fired by the vesuv, if you are interested in history you should definitely visit this place.

Another tip is Isolabona. If you want to go there, do not take a camper with you, we were driving to such small streets that we were afraid to stick in with the car. Isolabona is building upon a hill, the streets are very tight and you can discover something at any street. You can get the full Italian feeling in here.

 

Greece

Two years ago I saw Greece for the first time in my life.

A new social language learning experience in Liverpool

Hi Language Lovers, Hola People is about to start a new type of Social Language Learning, over a glass of Sangria in one of the coolest restaurants of Liverpool, Chicha Restaurant (55 Bold Street, L1 4EU), specialised in Peruvian cuisine.

The main objective of our events is to offer a great experience to everyone who wants to practice and improve languages.

How does this new programme work?

The activity will be held weekly and will consist of:

  • 50 min – Language lesson
  • 20 min – Break where you will be invited to have a sangria (or another drink of your choice) and snacks
  • 50 min – Language lesson

Total duration per session: 2 hours

The lessons (delivered by native teachers) are academic but mostly focus on conversation, and will include games and fun activities.

The languages that are available at the moment are Spanish – German – Italian – French – English.
If you would like to learn another language please let us know, we may be able to organise it for you.

It will start the week of 9th and 15th October, and it will last 4 to 10 weeks, finishing the week of 11th and 17th December, just before Christmas.

If you want to know more and are maybe interested in taking part in it, you can find more detailed information and a form to register in this link: languagessangria.holapeople.co.uk

Social Language Learning improves confidence

Fear of socialising?

Can you talk with a person you just met? Are there awkward silences? Do you not know what to say? We are people and we all have fears and many times the fears can be present when we are in front of people that we have just met. There are people who open up less and some who open up more, but why does this happen?
