Ah...to study again. I have been working on my Italian quite a bit in the past few days. Tonight, as I learned how to order qualcose da mangiare (something to eat) and made more flashcards, I thought back to my college years. The only class I really needed to study for was art history. I don't recall ever making flashcards for it, but I do remember typing out my notes from class as soon as I got back to my room, and then going over them every weekend. What also proved to be a huge help was my sister. She would quiz me a day or two before my exams, and that was probably a large factor in my receiving high marks on all of my tests.
She is not here to quiz me in Italian, however, so I must resort to flashcards. It is kind of fun though. Learning a new language at 29 is surely harder than it would have been had I done it while in grade school, or at least high school, but I am really getting in to it now. Soon, very soon (ok, in the next few months) I hope to do an entire blog post in Italian.
I wonder if I can learn by osmosis... :)
About Me
- Julie
- I am a transplant to the West from central Iowa...loving it so far. In my late twenties I realize that I am truly finding myself now...not sure why it has taken me so long, however, I have enjoyed the journey so far. I am a people person and have appreciated meeting many interesting individuals since my arrival in Missoula. I am an honest, hardworking, creative, adventurous, go getter type of person that just can't sit still for too long. I'm always up for trying something new and look forward to the future, while living in the present and learning from the past.
