I grew up in a predominately Italian neighborhood in Mass. I speak fluent Eye-talian...

zinfamous, when I took Japanese it wasn't total immersion.

same with me.

in highschool, for 2 years.

no one learned dick.

but the thing is--you have to use it. leave the class, never use it again, you're toast.

I once got lost while driving in Austria and almost ended up in Italy. Does that count?

And why are you taking Italian and not Chinese?

Does anyone know how you do the vibrating uvula thing or whatever it is you do to make that R sound? I'm trying but I am making more of a sound that resembles someone speaking Hebrew.

Era il giorno ch'al sol si scoloraro
per la pietà del suo factore i rai,
quando ì fui preso, et non me ne guardai,
chè i bè vostr'occhi, donna, mi legaro.


I read this Petrarcha poem to my now wife when she was my TA in italian class in college.

I said it rather quickly so she didnt understand the context. I offered to see her after class and explain.


The rest is history ^^

Se qualcuno vuole parlare un po di italian mandami un PM!


Io ho studiato poesia e opera nella universita dunque posso aiutarvi con le prove.
