Ruby and Roxy's Ruminations

Ruby and Roxy's Ruminations

Well in the interests of keeping my brain alive I have finally decided to learn Italian, I was considering Spanish as I do have a smattering from holidays in the Canaries but I like the sound of Italian better.

I have been checking out sites on the net and there is a speed one but that is American (boo!) and it is also quite expensive.

I have been checking the BBC site and am surprised to discover I already know quite a few words and phrases. I put this down to my bouts of insomnia and watching BBC2 in the middle of the night!

I think my accent is coming along as I have quite a good ear and am quite a good mimic.

All the tests I have done so far I have scored very high, I have only got 1 wrong in about 4 tests and I am earning Benisimo! which I am guessing means good?

Roxy keeps looking at me as I practice, she is used to me talking to myself or her, perhaps she realises I am not making any sense lol

I suppose I could ask for an Italian dictionary for my birthday, my Mother, will, no doubt, say I am mad but who cares!

I have tried to find a local class but it is the wrong time of the year, I suppose I could find an Italian Restaurant and become a regular diner, I do know lots of the names for food already pollo, funghi, zuchinni etc
