Haha! More like I had a few words in the general vicinity and that's about it! Did I tell you I spent 3 months in a convent outside of Florence when I was 15/16? It's been a long time since I've spoken Italian!

Buona fortuna! Chi vediamo questi Martedi? Espero che si! I'm sure this is really horrible grammar and vocabulary but I thought you might appreciate someone speaking really bad Italian to see how far you've come! You're inspiring me to get back to it!

LOL you sort of did ok. And yes!! Ci vediamo martedì! Weirdly they don't capitalize days of weeks or months. You had "who we see tuesday" instead of "we (will) see each other tuesday?" And only Spero! A presto (see you soon)!

Hope that you can find a few minutes to check out the bilingual book "The Painted Palazzo/palazzo dipinto " it will help your vocabulary. Auguri di buona Pasqua, Mary Jane

Oh yes! I totally failed to mention the books I've been reading every night before I hit the hay. Your book has been great, and really interesting. I'm going to do a Tuscia post at some point soon and will include it in my roundup! GRAZIE.

Good luck!! If you also need other videos to distract you, this one was sent to me in a work email years ago and it brings so much joy.
