My first blog on my first post was a list of 100.

Your list is great. It’s funny. I think if you can get your reader to smile they will be hooked. I tell my students when they say they can’t write that anyone can write a list. It’s true. Well done.

I received a few compliments on the idea of a list of “100 things about me” after recently posting my own list. I just edited my post to add a link to your blog since my idea came from you.

I loved reading this list last year. I recently read the list again and that was what inspired me to do a list of my own. Thanks!

Girasoli, glad to have been a part of your post! I look forward to reading it

ciao, i have found a recipe for the chocolate salami and thought i’d share it! (follow link below)
http://www.buonissimo.org/ricette/832_salamecioccolato.asp
Jacob’s in bed and i am sitting at the computer looking for an elusive toy which comes from a favourite cartoon on english tv for him! how sad for a saturday night but my husband is working away and so am stuck inside! the weather (how english to talk of the weather) has been so terrible that it feels like the middle of winter at times and no doubt you ve all heard of the floods we’ve had here in England… we’ve even lit a fire the other night! mind you i dont know what’s better because some of my family live in Sicily and they’ve been suffering with 50 degrees recently! that’s no fun either! still struggling to speak much italian to my son but he has now got Peterpan and Robinhood on italian dvd’s so he is at least getting a bit of vocab that way! I’d love to hear about daily life in italy for you, I often wonder whether i could live there again because even though i would love my son to grow up with italian culture i feel very much at home here now… i feel england is a place where people are allowed to be whoever they are without too much prejudice or interference, I also find it has a fast-paced way of life which makes it exciting most of the time! we’re thinking of moving house because we’re running out of space, we sell antiquarian books on the internet from home (www.byblos.uk.com) and the books are taking over our living space but the orices here are crazy and so we’re not sure we can afford an extra room – Italy would allow us a bigger house for sure! must go now but will try and remember to come and chat again soon cause it’s great to have found this site! ciao e buona notte x federica

Federica, I don’t have kids yet, so I really don’t know what to tell you. They say that the native tongue parent should speak that language with the child, but I can already see just from talking to my dog that it’s going to be difficult for me to speak English with a child all the time; my OH doesn’t speak English, and we’re in Italy, so this is an Italian-language house. It’ll sure be a challenge. Maybe if you can find some learning materials on Amazon or something–videos/books/tapes in Italian? I’ll definitely be supplementing my children’s language learning with those because I can already see how difficult it’ll be to keep up with the English.

I’ve never heard of the chocolate salami…I’d love a recipe too!

Ciao it’s Federica again. I wondered whether any of you have any tips on raising kids with other languages in the house. Even though i am fluent in both italian and french i am really struggling to speak enough italian to my son Jacob and am worried it is going to be too late… I know it is my fault but being in England, with an English husband and evrything around me in English i just find it so hard to carry on an entire conversation in Italian and therefore Jacob uses 90% english with the odd italian word such as “GAKI” = GRAZIE – “LAKKE” = LATTE “CIUCCIO” = DUMMY …
Anyway, hope all is well in Italia, i just got back from france but missing summer evenings hanging out by the fountain in the squares in italy, eating ice creams and chatting to friends… those were proper holidays! ciao ciao, buona notte – p.s: when i was little i used to eat what they called chocolate salami in italy whoch is a crushed biscuit, chocolate cake which does not need baking and which gets rolled into a sausage shaoe and put in the fridge, does anyone have a recipe?

Born in Carbondale, I’ve been to your birthplace many times, so I’d have to say that yes, your guess is right
