Eccelente Gabriella!
Allora ci vediamo questo Gennaio!

wow very good italian...o wait i think Helena mentioned this to us. Are you the other person that speaks italian? she said there were two of us.

actually i also speak italian. i'm taking my second year in italian right now...so i'm fluent and fairly comfortable. i speak french too! lol

oh sorry elise, I had no idea. Well then thats great there will be a few pros!!!! Buonissimo

oh that's ok Gabriella! i didn't tell Trevor or anyone else, cuz i really don't get to use my italian outside of class or while doing homework here. so i don't know how well i'm going to do, but i'm definetly going practice before we leave! (or i'll try at least...lol)

I went to an italian immersion school, so it's really my second language!
I hope I get to perfect it once in Cortona though!

wow that is so neat!!!!

oh wow! that's like me and my french. i went to full francophone schools my entire life, so everything was always taught in french...but it sucks, cuz once you get to university, you have to learn all the english terms for every subject. but i'm happy really happy to speak it. knowing other languages helps so much.

it totally does!! to this day i have to think before i speak in english, and particularly in spanish, i get so many words confused!

my major is in italian and i am also taking spanish this semester. So yes I agree and I love languages too, I say that it is kinda my thing.

i'm totally jealous you guys. hopefully by being in italy for a few months, i'll be able to get that much better at speaking italian. it's one thing learning it in class, but it's something completely different actually carrying a conversation.

I agree Elise, that's why I want to talk with the locals as much as I can, I even tried to book the hostels in italian!

speaking with the locals as much as possible is a goal of mine as well. It is like Helena said most of the time if you try and make an effort they welcome you with open arms.
