Language Barriers
My eldest is just about to wrap up a semester of study
in Rome. It's been a great opportunity considering her
field of study, but—aside from being thousands of miles
away from home—it also happens to be a country in which she
doesn't speak the language (she's pretty good at
Latin, but I understand they don't speak that much there
any more). Nonetheless, through a combination of her
classes, her friends, a smattering of helpful natives, and
the universality of sign language, she's managed pretty
well.
