capitolo sei
6 months ago
I’m so proud of myself for having the discipline to do the chapters everyday. I would want to take a formal course someday but I just don’t have the time right now.
Today, I had a breakfast session with one of the bank’s senior leaders. She mentioned something about kaizen, a japanese technique about continuous improvement and this was something that really resonated with me—-as this is what I’ve been trying to do with learning Italian. I do a part of a chapter a day, and try to finish a whole chapter each week. Hopefully, by the end of the book, I can really understand, read and write in Italian and I get the opportunity to either work or study in Italy.

And so far so good. I’m in Chapter 3 of my book already. Hoping to finish chapter 5 by the end of May and then the rest of the book by September. I really want to and speak Italian fluently…something tells me that I’ll be living in Milan and Florence in the near future. :-)
It’s going to happen, I know it…

Eat Pray Love
19 months ago
I’m currently reading the book Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gisbert and I’m completely inspired to learn Italian again. The book is her memoir about her soul-searching in Italy, India and Indonesia for a year. I’m still in the Italy part and I have to say, she has convinced me to live there just to learn Italian and the very fine art of pleasure.
