Wouldn't have guessed that you would have been beyond various phrases.<br /><br />Can you take an Italian language class this fall at school?<br /><br />Combining the idea of practicing Italian and when you might travel internationally, through your school you might be able to go to Italy for a brief language immersion program. Check out what opportunities exist and what funding is available for them.<br /><br />With enough planning maybe you could somehow swing leaving for a month. <br /><br />Also, glad you and Alex are having fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-85402181527140834082011-07-15T12:21:56.417-04:002011-07-15T12:21:56.417-04:00Wonderful on all fronts, except the super flirty I...Wonderful on all fronts, except the super flirty Italian men and not so great food:)Lil'Sishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676881545075048676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-80938550278302419902011-07-15T05:55:58.879-04:002011-07-15T05:55:58.879-04:00This post really made me smile.

Dani probably doesn't have as vivid memories as you do of your mom speaking Italian, and going there to immerse herself in it is also her way of connecting.Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704805929862792884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-59009741453505623242011-07-15T03:07:04.406-04:002011-07-15T03:07:04.406-04:00Well done to both of you for trying - thats whats ...Well done to both of you for trying - thats whats important, my sister decided five years ago to learn to speak portugues our great grandfather was from madeira so we have this lingering distand link which in our area is useful when people think we are portugues so she has been taking lessons for five years and is very good our younger sister and I joined the adult class for a year but it was really hard.
