become fluent in Italian

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…

I am definitely on my way to achieving this one – I’d say i’m 1/4 of the way there.

I am currently studying Italian as part of my degree from the University of Reading and in the 6 months I’ve been studying it I have come such a long way. I would really love to speak it fluently.

i’ve always wanted to go to italy. maybe even study there for a year or two ? knowing the language would definetly help, with studying and with those cute italian boys =)

I have learnt italian for 11 years (in school) but stopped two years ago. I would like to pick it up again and actually become fluent so i can talk to the old italians and also visit italy.

...I can listen to my italian lessons while I sleep! :)

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.

I speak intermediate Italian right now and within the next few years I would like to be completely fluent

shouldn’t be too difficult.
