I'm really shy, and I'm so nervous as it is. At school I can't even talk to my teachers because of how shy I am... And being a freshman in Italy.... I'm so scared. Does anyone have any helpful advice?
Answer on I'm going to Italy as a foreign exchange student, any helpful hints?
If Your really That Shy I Don't Not Recommend Going.
Also Freshman Year Is Not A Good Year To Do It.
I Would Suggest Junior Year, That's What My Cousin Did And That's What Im Doing.
But If You Still Insist On Going...
Learn Their History, Study Hard.
Master The Language, Also, If You Learn Their Slang That Is Also very Helpful
Get A Map Of The Area You Are Visiting, Study It On The Plane Ride There.
It Will Help Greatly
Also To Help Overcome Your Shyness...

Try Talking To Your Teachers, Or Ask People You Don't Know A Question Or Something
Even To Help Shyness And Language Go To A Italian Chat Room,
