Noi non capiamo l'italiano (We don't understand Italian). Yet.

io sono
tu sei
lui é
noi siamo
voi siete
loro sono


Blech. Ever try learning a foreign language? Oh, the endless verb congugations.

Robin and I had originally planned to try to get into a language school in the next few weeks and we found a great deal at a school in Florence. However when I contacted the school we found out that the beginner class had started on Monday. I happened to mention that we were actually free later this week and the school administrator excitedly told us to come on up and we could get a few private lessons to catch up with the class. So Robin finished up her gig and we hopped a train to Florence.

So here we are less than a week after we found out we were even going to Italy. We are living in a shared flat with several other students (whoah, we're living in Italy!) and have attended our first day of Italian lessons. What a crazy world.

We've paid for 4 weeks of classes but may stay longer depending on how things look in a month.

Hey, Guys,
Looks like you're right on track with l'italiano! So you don't enjoy verb conjugations? Whatsa matta wich you? If only all verbs were regular verbs, it would be a great world.
Take heart--Bonnie & Ben are taking Latin (which, of course, means that I am, too), and these poor guys are about to get a dose of declensions in the next few months. And you think you've got it bad!
