Ahh, I think this is now day 4 or 5 of learning Italian and I thought I’d share my improvements over the last few days.
So one of the last things I had a big issue with was the inability to properly process the information and spit it out in written form. Well, I got better at it. The last written submission I sent in only had 1 mistake! It made me so excited! (not in a dodgy manner) And then to make matters even better for me, I finally got out my microphone and decided to record my speaking submissions and see how that went. Apparently I’m much better at speaking Italian than writing it. Not a surprise. I’ve always been better at speaking random languages than understanding them.
But, apparently I speak shyly when I speak Italian, which makes sense, because I haven’t yet learned where to put the emphasis on the parts of the words in order to speak it confidently. I’m just trying to focus on saying it right, before I get overly sure of myself and manage to epically fail at life. Like Post 1 in which I described my failed attempt at trying to be clever by switching words out. What can I say, I learn fast not to make that kind of mistake again.
Small nuisance with the program I’m using is that the speaking submissions tend to use very different words than the lessons themselves, which is really odd to me. It’s like…oh hey 3 lessons later, why don’t we randomly use camion instead of autocarro. Or borsa instead of borsetta. It just messes with my head, I don’t know why they do it. I’m going to assume it’s like when you randomly run into someone in Italy and they’re suddenly using some warped language and they want you to be on your toes just in case!
So that’s all I had to say about that for today, as the days go by, I’m sure that it’ll get more interesting.
