How's you Italian? I'm always looking for someone to communicate with in Italian (besides husband) I don't want to forget it. Yesterday I met a native Italian women who was talking about "i germanese' an American-Italian blended word instead of 'i tedeschi' the proper Italian word. If it can happen to a native speaker it surely can happen to me. Does it work? How’s you Italian?

Doe, These things do work. I think my Italian is pretty good, for just starting to learn about 4 months ago. According to Roberto I have a good basic level of understanding and he says "You can definately get around". I talk to both of his parents on occassion and we can understand each other well enough. I can understand WAY more than I can speak - but I have always had these problems when learning a new language. It is a hurdle for me to actually speak to the same degree of what I am understanding, if that makes any sense. I guess my goal is being understood. So these programs have gotten me to this point. But I still have ways to go and more tapes and programs to do. Hi J. Doe,
