bill and i (and 2 or three other couples -- dear friends of ours) are going to italy at the end of next year. the first piece of software i purchased for my new mac was a program to learn italian. sure, i already know plenty of nasty things to say to or call people; i'm hoping i won't have to use that part of my italian.
it's a program complete with sound. you hear it, and then you speak it.
so we're learning together. it's hard. not because the language is hard. because i can't stop laughing every time bill "speaks." EVERYTHING he says sounds like this.
i have a year to stop laughing.

Posted by: Keri at June 12, 2006 05:00 PMI love it! I'm sure he'll be a hit in Italy. Can I put my teacher's hat on a give you a tip? I don't know if CD's in the states come in lots of languages. If they do, watch one of your favourite films in italian. Don't try to translate or understand, just soak up the ambiance. It helps you get a better idea of speed too.
