STUPIDAGGINI…..
Ok Ok, I still don’t get it.
This is what goes down in my Italian language classes.
Why do people think the more they repeat a word or the louder they shrill that I will be able to understand what they are trying to convey?
I didn’t comprehend the meaning the first time you said it yet alone the sixth!
Learning a foreign language is tough, I have a new-found admiration for anyone who learns any language as an adult.
Spesso si scontrano per stupidaggini.
I’ll give you a fight over a stupid little thing !!!!

Reblogged this on The Growing up in Australia project and commented:
I’m feeling your pain..
We are dying to move to Italy (Tuscany) we struggle everyday with the language. It’s the way they say things that we find hardest. It’s in a different order. Like you, I now respect anyone who speaks another language.
I am determined to learn. I am loving the challenge. I certainly don’t look Italian so I feel that I will never be expected to speak perfectly. In saying that I look forward to one day having an accent !
There are two things one should not attempt to learn in their 40’s: a new language and how to ski. Somehow I survived both, although I suck at both. My pride was hurt far worse with my language tumbles!
Elyse, this makes me laugh. I agree with you and I am in my early 40’s. I live in Australia, we are not known for our snow and am moving to Europe where I am sure my teenage kids will want to ski or at least snowboard.
Learning Italian and learning to ski in 1 year, I am up for the challenge !
