This semester I decided to start learning Italian. I should have started this a little earlier...oh well. I loved learning Spanish and I wasn't too bad at it so I thought picking up Italian would be quite easy. It is and it isn't. Some things are so similar. The word for book is the same and the numbers are almost the same. Some things...are not at all. Like the letter g. I want to say it softly or silently but no!!! The word in Italian for January is gennaio so I have to say "GEN-ay-o". It's very odd. Also the double l sounds like how us Amurcans say l words and the letter c is always pronounced "chi" unless it is before an a and h. That is confusing.
I have really enjoyed my few Italian classes so far but it is only going to get harder from here. I just finished the first part of my lab due on Wednesday; there is a lot of repetition.
Oh spirits of Donatello, Masaccio, Botticelli, and Piero della Francesca, save me!
Until tomorrow,
Caroline
