become fluent in Italian

I missed class today :(
It’s okay though, I will fill in the midterm review sheet and go into the language center and work in there for an hour to get up to par.
I will also go into the teachers office hours to ask her some specific questions.

I’m taking Italian 101 and plan to take Italian 102, as well as studying abroad in Italy.. cross your fingers :)

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 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
