I was born in Sicily when my father was in the US Navy. We moved back to the US when I was very young so I never learned Italian. I have always been interested in Italy and the Italian language. I have traveled there three times and love being there. I have a very limited knowledge of the language and would love to become conversant. I will be traveling there again in the near future.

Per fortuna, a volta (non così raramente), le previsioni meteo sono sbagliate. Ma il cielo era così nero fuori dalla tua finestra!! A presto :-)

    THE FIRST TIME ON ITALKI

    This is the first time that i write on Italki.
    i want to speak of my work. I'm a property and facility manager that works in a Theme Park. Its name is Rainbow Magic Land. The park is located in a little city near Rome.
    This is the (not necessary to have an article here) Halloween month. We have finished all the preparations in the Park, and i think that the finished result is ok. 

    I hope that many people will come to the park.

     

    Good job, Massimo!

    Interesting article. I have trouble finding shows and movies in my target language (Italian). Any suggested websites?

    A new semester, but now with a tablet

    Today I had my first class in my eighth semester at university. I was excited to see my friends again and talk about what we did in our vacations. My science teacher was a bit boring because he spent much time talking about things that weren't important for me.

    Fortunately, I remembered I had a tablet so I turned it on and started to surf the web especially duolingo.com, memrise and this website. So, instead of losing time I took advantage of this "free time" to practice my target languages (English and German).

    Thanks to the technology, I can learn any language at anytime and anywhere.

    To build vocabulary there are dvds, websites, apps and computer programs. I did Rosetta Stone for a year - not great for grammar but good for vocabulary and basic sentence structure. After a year, I came to italki and now work with tutors in addition to chatting on Skype with friends from italki.

    Our holiday

    This morning my eldest son left to go to the mountains with his scout group for 9 days. They had to change their destination because it has rained too much and the place where they were going to go and put their tents was awash.
    Tomorrow my youngest son is leaving with my brother and his children to go to the seaside, and we all hope they will have some sunny days !
    The day after tomorrow my daughter is leaving too, to go to the mountain with her scout group, so next week my husband and I will be alone !!! For a whole week ! I can't believe it...We have been married for 14 years and it is the first time we are alone, since we have been parents. We aren't off from work but it will be a holiday for us, too.

     

    My sons were scouts too! I tried to send you a follower request but couldn't find the correct button. Please feel free to follow me and maybe we can chat.
