I have a sudden urge to learn Italian. Now, I don’t know if this is a ‘start of a new year’ thing, or a result of a comment I made to a friend I’ve met online, who runs Arte Umbria. As I mentioned in my last post, I’ll be spending a week here in the summer, improving my writing skills, and, although Italian is not required, I keep thinking how lovely it would be to converse in, or at the very least understand the language.

Surely learning a second language, particularly one from which many of our english words stem, can only improve my use of the written word. What do you think?
Take care.

Here’s the deal – you learn Italian to prepare, I’ll start my diet today, and we’ll both be ready, ok? Otherwise the plane won’t be able to take off and we won’t be able to order the wine.

Lol! I think we may have a deal, Ce. 🙂 xx
