with Molly Haggerty and Catalina Lora, Umbra Reps Spring 2025

In this episode, Molly and Catalina—two of our Spring 2025 Umbra Reps—dive into a fun and candid conversation about the ups and downs of learning Italian while living abroad.

From unexpected first encounters with the language outside the classroom to the ways their previous language knowledge helped—or sometimes didn’t—they reflect on what it really feels like to immerse yourself in a new linguistic and cultural world.

Tune in for honest stories, helpful tips, and a few laughs along the way.
