The moment I decided on italian, I was sorry it wasn't german

"Life is too short to learn German."

ma io preferisco l'italiano

Anch'io preferisco l' italiano Uno di questi giorni lo imparerò, amico mio. Ma non ancora...

I have been absent as I haven't been well. After I recoverd from that allergy (although still wearing cremes, no makeup etc), to make a long story short, I broke some bones on my foot. I stepped clumsily on a very small step, and I swear I felt my foot fold like a piece of paper. I am not wearing a cast, only a narthex of some sort, and I can walk but very carefully. But it's painful and the doctor frightened me, in the sense that he warned me that if I am not very careful, the tendon attached to whatever broke, might have an issue, and then it will mean surgery.

Meanwhile it's summer, it's hot, I want to go swimming, and I am pissed off. I've never had so many health issues, or accidents before. What the.... Of course it could be worst so I am thankful as well.


As for french and german they fell behind, but I am ready to continue. After all I am supposed to rest the foot so it's a good time for languages.

Still here, after a lot of time off studying. I was out of town, and frankly didn't feel like doing much.

My plans for french haven't changed a bit. I am going to revise the first book, and do all the exercises this time. I still think that if I spend more time in the foundation of the language, everything will go faster after that. In fact I had started before the summer, but I'll start again now.

As for a second language, I keep changing my mind. Time will tell...

My secong language will be german. I will get back to italian after I reach a satisfactory french level.

I'll use assimil, one chapter a day, and that's all the time I can spare right now since french is always my focus. The C2 level is still floating in my head...

Mind you, I have no practical use for any of these languages, just my own pleasure. That's so liberating.

German is a huge mountain, I'd better get going already.
