Anna moved to the UK from Italy when she was six years old and didn't speak any English. She was unhappy at first and wanted to return to Italy. However, her classmates were welcoming and helped her learn English. Their parents were also friendly. Anna felt more comfortable after a while and thinks she was lucky compared to her older sister Zoella, who spoke some English but found it more difficult to adjust. Eugenio, the oldest child, was 16 when he moved and found it harder in some ways than expected, even though he already spoke quite a bit of English. Some boys laughed at him when he made mistakes.
