Welcome to Italy- Integration into Italian Daily Life
It can take longer to integrate than you might expect. Here are some useful tips to help you get settled:-
- Don’t be shy about asking help from as many locals as possible. Most Italians are particularly friendly and helpful even as you massacre their language!
- Learn Italian – every little helps and your effort will be much appreciated.
- Use whatever professional help is available – it is usually worth paying in the beginning to get things done.
- Set up your support network straight away (assistant, cleaner, babysitter, Italian teacher etc), as they will be able to help you through the day-to-day activities.
- Search out your local international community and go along. It is important to make Italian friends too but international friends will have been through what you are going through and can help.
- Visit your local bar and shops regularly and start building local relationships.
- Sending children to the local Italian school is an excellent way to make local Italian friends.
- Join a gym.
- Increase your cultural awareness. If you understand what is going on around you, you can adapt to make things easier. There are many, many examples of this: e.g. Italians are much more formal than Americans, Australians or British. So when an Italian uses very formal language with you they are being polite rather than unfriendly.
