I think I would feel more at ease in Rome if I knew more Italian. Even though I took Italian 1 freshman year of college, I do not remember much from the class. It becomes awkward when I have to buy something or order food because I do not know what to say in Italian. I am currently signed up for Italian 2, and I was unsure whether or not I wanted to stay in the class. If I do not remember anything from my first Italian class, how will I pass Italian 2? I figured that the only way to learn Italian, though, is to stay in the class and stick it out.
So, one of my goals this semester is to learn enough Italian to sustain myself living in Rome. There seem to be a lot of students that have a basic grasp of Italian. I probably will not learn enough until the end of April when I have to leave and it will be pointless, but it will make living here easier.
An important phrase I learned today: vorrei un bicchiere di vino bianco= I would like a glass of white wine.
Now I just have to remember it.

As a wise person once said..."Be Italian"
ReplyDeleteThat person was Fergie in the movie Nine.
This is Brittni. Who else would leave this comment?
I never would have known that Fergie could have words of wisdom. By the way, I am jealous you saw this movie. I have been dying to see it.
