Ahh, another day come and gone in the lovely world of learning Italian. It’s still random, I still don’t have any sound basis for wanting to learn it, but I can tell you one thing. I love it! I’ve always heard from people, especially here in Quebec, that Spanish is super easy to understand, especially if you know English and French, but personally I’ve always found it a little difficult to get my mind around. Which is odd, but eh. Italian on the other hand…seems like French has a pretty big Italian base to it and is MUCH closer to sounding French than Spanish does. Someone could explain something to me in Spanish and an Italian could explain the same thing and odds are that I’ll understand the Italian more than the Spanish one.

Sorry, I’m rambling a little, it’s pretty early in the morning and I haven’t slept yet.

Yesterday didn’t really have any huge dramatic episodes of corrections, but I also haven’t done the written submission portion of Lesson 2 yet. I’m almost having nightmares in my waken state just imagining the resulting commentary I’m going to be receiving once I do complete it. I can just imagine the grilling. Hopefully I don’t try anything clever and manage to get the singular/plural/feminine/masculine right this time. Now that I understand that the language is styled much like French, this will be much easier for me to understand. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of it that way before, but eh.

I’ll be sure to update as regularly as I can. As boring as it all is, it keeps me wanting to push forward and keep learning the language, just so I can rant about the whole experience and enjoy the fact that I’m understanding it more and more

All in all. I’m loving this! What a beautiful language.

Have a great day!
