We found a place :)

Hey guys!
It's Joanna. We've been having a great time here. We walk around Chiavari every day on errands, and it's been really interesting meeting the people here and talking to them (with our limited vocabulary).

Some really exciting news for us is that we now have an official place to hold the free English courses we'll be offering to the community! The owners of a local pizza restaurant are very interested in what we're doing and are letting us use their top floor on weeknights for our basic, intermediate, and advanced level classes. It's a beautiful place - I am so stoked about this working out. We will be starting classes next week, and so we're going over the lessons and getting prepared. Outside of class time, we will be getting together with the students over coffee and for different events to get conversation going and to build friendships.

We're going to try and keep this page updated as the weeks go by - we'd love to hear from you!

Love,
Joanna
