Ciao!

Italiano was bene! It was fun, I learned a lot, and I can't wait until next week!

We spent the last half hour of class talking about Italian words we know, i.e. spaghetti, lasagna, latte, etc. So, of course, I'm starving. I really want some gelato at the moment, actually. Hmmm. Doesn't that look absolutely delectable?
So, I have a book and it comes with eight, yes 8, cds so that I can listen and learn. I think that plus by byki software I will be able to master Italian! Well, maybe not master, but I think I'll learn more.
For those who aren't familiar with byki software, it's a free download. Byki stands for : Before You Know It. They don't have just Italian. There are all kinds of languages: Norwegian, French, Greek, Spanish, Latin (I think), Arabic, etc. So, if you're interested in learning another language, I really suggest this site. You get like 7 free lessons, and can purchase more if you want. It's better than paying $300 some dollars for Rosetta Stone. (Especially if you're not sure you like it after a while. You haven't shelled out any dough.)
Buonanotte!

  1. I might do that Byki thing. I'm taking latin right now, and I'm struggling a little bit. That might help. I just need a little more somethin' somethin' to get me by in that class. The prof is boring, therefor I barely pay attention. Maybe I could be unlazy and get a tutor. But that would take too much effort on my part. lolz.

    PS, Your blog is adorable, and I'm a fan of Julie Andrews and musicals myself, though I don't have the talent to sing. ;)
