    Description

    Hi, I'm Francesca and live in Rimini have 2 children: maria, who is 21 and Marco, who is 19. I'm a primaryschool teacher. I enjoy reading, traveling and spending time in nature.
    I'm looking for a Workawayer between September and December, preferably a native Spanish speaker.
    I would like to learn Spanish, so I'm asking for a few hours per week to be dedicated to teaching me the language.
    I would also like Spanish to be spoken at home.

    It would be better if you have some knowledge of English, since I’ve only taken a basic Spanish course and I don’t speak it yet.

    Additionally, I need some help around the house with cleaning and tidying up.

    My children will be away at university, so it will mostly be just me and my cat, Tellulah, at home.

    We can discuss and agree on the details together.
    I hope you're interested!

    This host offers a language exchange
    I studied languages at university: English and German. I did an Erasmus exchange in Germany. Unfortunately, since I don’t have many opportunities to speak English or German, I’ve lost some fluency in both. I teach English at primary school, but it's at a basic level. However, I take part in Erasmus courses for teachers and I’ve also attended a beginner Spanish course.

    There has been a settlement at Rimini since prehistoric times. Founded by the Romans in 268 BC, Rimini boasts a 2,000-year history that has left important marks testifying to its grandeur. To the Romans, Ariminum was a link between the "Italic" and the "Gallic" lands, a stronghold on the Adriatic and a gateway to the Po valley. Three major roads converged here - the Flaminian Way, the Aemilian Way and the Popilian Way.

    Rimini today is a thriving, bustling resort on the Italian Riviera that boasts "over a thousand hotels". It is Italy's biggest beach resort and it is very famous all over Europe, with 15 km of sandy beach plus thousands of bars, restaurants and discos.

    This is a place where the Italians go for their sea and sun, and therefore the food is excellent as well as the people being friendly and helpful. You won't find many tour buses filled with Americans or English here! This also means, however, that few speak anything but Italian, so be sure to take your phrase book with you. The locals will work with you and are always happy to see a foreigner at least trying to communicate in their language.
