They excerpt from the book made me laugh and smile, I know the frustration of learning Italian………..Try being Sicilian toddler immigrating to Canada and speaking only Sicilian dialect. Then going back at 15 and realizing no one speaks like you, they speak Italian Geeze Louise!, I thought that’s what I was speaking. No………. Apparently I was mistaken, and had to learn to speak words in a proper manner not the old way.I also suffer from a linguist defect cannot roll my R’s.Family finds this hilarious.
I ‘d never survive in Scotland either,I was told by my friend Anne of Glasgow.
I definitely buying this book , if only to find someone who like myself
persevered!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Nell

Dianne’s book is wonderful! I share a similar passion for the Italian language and was so excited to find her book and blog and then meet Dianne in person in San Francisco last month! Doubly excited to have been invited to write a guest blog for her blog too. If you are at all interested in learning Italian, Dianne’s book will definitely jump start your journey! Buona lettura! Buoni studi!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts Melissa!

Hi – When I originally commented, it picked up a link to my mail-server rather than my blog address. I tried to correct it, but it would not let me post again.

You should be able to find me now.

Don’t be alarmed by my current post, I write all sorts of poetry–you just need to dig a bit and there’s something for everyone!

Thanks!
