Learning Italian (sporadically)

As I mentioned earlier this month, I finally decided to learn Italian. Well, I have not been very disciplined so far, I don't do this every night as I should, but I do try to go through a few lessons of Assimil, repeat them so I can remember the words, etc. I thought I would write a post from time to time about my progresses, or lack of. So far, I can order order breakfast (providing it is pastry) and coffee, I can book a room in Italy, asked if the train arrived or not and say if the journey exhausted me. I still struggle with the verbs, but I think the first lessons focus on nouns and adjectives. I guess I need to walk before running and stay patient. And speaking Italian, even small, simple sentences like these, is fun in itself.

  2. Ordering lunch should be easy. Beer too. And when they offer you another drink, I already know the answer: "Va bene!".
