In this challenging and high-level episode of English and Beyond, I'm thrilled to welcome my special guest, Federica, whose English is truly exceptional. We explore my memorable yet challenging time in Milan, discussing my childlike excitement about moving to Italy and the bitter reality of facing office politics and my personal struggles once in the country.

Federica and I also discuss the paradoxes of Italian culture in general, the frustrations of dealing with Milanese bureaucracy and her love-hate relationship with her homeland. She shares her experiences growing up in Milan and offers insight into the beauty and complexity of Italian life.
