Episode Synopsis
What does it feel like to land in a new city where you don’t yet speak the language? In this episode, we follow the story of Ali, a student who arrived in Perugia to study at Umbra without knowing a word of Italian. Through her experience, we explore the challenges—and the small victories—of adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, and finding connection in unfamiliar places.You'll also hear how Umbra supports students through this transition, helping them not just to navigate the language, but to feel at home.
