As an international student who doesn’t speak Italian yet (I’ll learn once I’m in Italy), what part time jobs can I do during the first few months in Messina?

Hi everyone! I’ll be moving to Messina next month to start my Master’s degree at the University of Messina, and I’m currently looking for a single room to rent.

Ideally, I’d like something close to the COSPECS department or within easy walking distance/public transport.

If you know of any available rooms, apartments, or reliable rental listings, please feel free to comment or send me a DM.

By the way, I am a 24-year-old male.

Thank you!

Soon, I’ll be moving to Messina, Sicily, to start my studies, and I’d really like to make some friends before I arrive. Since I’ll be new to the city, I think it would be great to get to know some people beforehand, especially others who are also moving there for university or who already live in Messina.

I’m 24M and I’m pretty easygoing. I’m into bodybuilding and football, so I’d be happy to meet people who share similar interests. I also enjoy going for walks, exploring new places, trying different things, and having conversations about pretty much anything. I’m always open to meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures.

I’m hoping to find people to hang out with, grab a coffee or a drink, explore the city, go to the gym, watch football, or simply spend some time together.

If you’re from Messina, currently studying there, or moving there soon, feel free to reach out. It would be great to connect before I arrive and hopefully build some good friendships once I’m there!

Hi everyone! I heard that some churches in Messina offer free Italian language classes for foreigners/international students. I’m moving to Messina for university and would really like to improve my Italian.

Could anyone confirm if this is true and, if so, which churches or organizations offer these courses and how I can register?

Thank you! 😊

Hey, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to inquire about rental prices in Messina. I'll be studying at the Dipartimento di Scienze Cognitive, Psicologiche, Pedagogiche e degli Studi Culturali (COSPECS). I found a private room close to the department for €335 per month, all inclusive except for the electricity bill. Do you think I should go with this option, or is it worth continuing my search? Do you think I could find a better or cheaper room?

Is there an English-speaking meetup in Sidi Bel Abbès where I can practice speaking English? I'm not talking about meetups organized by private language schools.

It's been a long time since I have spoken English, so I'm looking for people to practice with and hopefully regain at least some of my speaking skills. 😀

Hey! If anyone needs to pay for something online but doesn't have a Visa card, I can make the payment for you using mine. I won't charge any extra fees or ask for anything in return. You'll simply reimburse me for the exact amount I paid.

Hello everyone,

I passed the IELTS Academic test and obtained a C1 level in English, but I haven't consistently used the language for two years now.

I have two main issues. The first one is that I have obviously lost 50% of my writing and speaking skills. The second one, on the other hand, is the fact that I'm not really good at everyday English. Since I learned English at university (English was the language of instruction), I acquired a more academic/formal style of language.

If there is anyone here who knows how I can start improving from here, please write your suggestions in the comments. I'm a little lost on how to get back to speaking and writing the way I used to, and how to improve my informal English through watching something you recommend (YouTube channels, movies, etc.).

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I'll be starting to learn Italian this month, but I'm feeling a little lost. I don't really know where to begin, and I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Since I believe the beginning is the most important stage, I want to make sure I start the right way. Should I focus on grammar first, listen to videos, build my vocabulary?

My goal is to reach an A2 level by September. If you've learned Italian or have any advice on an effective study plan, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

Thank you!

Hey, I hope everyone is fine. I am looking for some friends from the Sicily area, preferably from Messina. I am moving there in September for my studies, and I would like to make some connections beforehand. I would like to have conversations in Italian (I don't know anything about Italian, but I am willing to learn it as soon as possible), and I can also help you with learning English. 😄👍🇮🇹
