Default Practicing Italian

Hi All;

I've just realized that this is the more appropriate forum for the post I have just left on the "Scalea forum". Please take a look at "How about practicing written Italian" on the Scalea forum.

ciao

Ciao Elgian,
Sono molto interessato a practicare il mio italiano con il forum perche' ho bisigno della disciplina. Diana e Janet parti in questo modo, a volte si traducono in ingleses. Abbiamo 406 cm. della neve sul monte ora e un bene per lo sci e gli agricoltori, ma io sogno meteo caldo Scalea!

Thanks Elgian, I welcome the chance to practice Italian on the forum as I need the discipline. We only had 40 hours of formal instruction and must improve a whole lot more. Di and Janet are doing this between themselves and it is just good for us all -- being so far away from anyone actually using the language.

One of the wonderful things to us about this move to Italy is meeting people from so many places. Where else would I bump into someone from South Africa....only online now, but in person in Italy one of these days. Priceless experience. Please flog us to speak Italiano. Grazie

Excellent Doug;

hai ragione: e` anche questione di disciplina. Ma la disciplina diventa piu` sopportabile quando ne si vede l'utilita`. Quindi, trovare soluzioni ai problemi spiccioli usando la lingua e` un modo di rendere utile l'esercizio della disciplina.

As for the weather you're experiencing ... ho l'idea che ora trovereste la neve anche sulle montagne del Pollino. Elaine ed io, in ogni caso, non vediamo l'ora di venire a Scalea all'inizio dell'estate prossima: ci attendiamo un clima meraviglioso anche se, abbandoneremo l'inverno di Durban che e` ancora piu' favoloso.

ciao

Giancarlo
