Il mio italiano

Wow! Having learnt spanish for a few years...I thought Italian would be pretty much the same and I could get a hang of it in a few days....
Clearly I was wrong!

Not only is the conjugation a bit tricky....but even worse is the pronounciation...especially the challenging 'C + vowel'
so here is a tip for you....
c + i = chi sound (like in ciao)
c + e = che sound (like certo)
c + hi = kki (ya...the language has so k...so need to make this using ch)
c + he = kke

this is just a starter...lets not get into sc and sch sounds...that will be for another day...

I have been using a lot of spanish in class and madame sussana (our teacher)  doesn't seem too pleased with it....
She goes.. "What is sin??? Non capisco..."
I am like..Acqua sin gas...come on...we all know that it means 'without'..
but unfortunately here in Italy it is 'Acqua senza gas'..

Clearly I have got to turn off the spanish chip and insert a brand new italian one...atleast for the next few months....

Let me go brush up for class tomorrow...

A'presto!
